Beyond High Performance · 2025-04-29 · 56 min
Chris Bates knows this better than most. As the Head Strength Coach for the U.S. Men’s Olympic Water Polo Team, founder of Raincross High Performance, and a father of four, Chris hit a breaking point that most high performers never talk about. In this episode of Your Finest Hour, Meta Performance™ Institute President Joseph King Barkley sits down with Chris and his Meta Performance™ coach, Dex Alexander, to explore what happened when Chris made the hardest decision of his career - saying no to a dream job - and how that one decision became the catalyst for everything that came after: a stronger marriage, clearer purpose, and an Olympic medal. If you’ve built success but feel like something’s missing, this conversation will challenge how you define winning.
