Hidden Gems: Meet Kenneth Wright of Get Wright Performance Training

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenneth Wright.

Hi Kenneth, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
With a doctorate in Special Education and years of experience as a school teacher and vice principal, I dedicated my career to helping others learn, grow, and reach their potential. Today, I’ve traded the classroom for the gym, where I continue that same mission as a coach. I’m passionate about empowering people to push beyond their perceived limits, build confidence, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching someone discover they’re capable of far more than they ever imagined.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Starting a business and being an entrepreneur is challenging. I’ve struggled to balance coaching athletes and running the business.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
At Get Wright Sports Performance Training, our mission is to develop stronger athletes and more confident individuals through purposeful coaching, proven training methods, and unwavering encouragement. We believe that true performance extends beyond speed, strength, and skill—it begins with discipline, resilience, and the mindset to keep growing. Our goal is to help every athlete unlock their potential and become the best version of themselves, both in sport and in life. We believe greatness is built, not given. We believe every athlete has untapped potential waiting to be developed through hard work, consistency, and the right guidance. We believe coaching is more than giving instructions. It is teaching, mentoring, encouraging, and holding people accountable to the standards they are capable of achieving. We believe success is measured not only by wins, medals, or scholarships, but by confidence gained, character developed, and obstacles overcome. We believe in doing the little things right because excellence is the result of consistent habits. We believe setbacks are not failures. They are opportunities to learn, adapt, and come back stronger. We believe every workout has a purpose, every challenge has a lesson, and every athlete deserves to be seen, supported, and pushed toward excellence. We believe in creating an environment where effort is expected, respect is earned, and growth is celebrated. Most of all, we believe that when athletes get their mindset right, their habits right, and their work ethic right, everything else follows. At Get Wright Sports Performance Training, we don’t just train athletes. We build confidence. We develop leaders. We create competitors.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Strong relationships and positive results. Relationships help build trust, discipline and accountability. Results solidify to meaning to our work.
