Brian Rutz, High-Level Burnout Coach 

 

Brian is a High-Level Burnout Coach with over 1,500 hours of coaching experience, working with athletes, coaches, physicians, and CEOs who operate under constant pressure and expectation. His work is dedicated to one essential question:

How do high performers continue to rise without being crushed by the weight of what they carry?

Holding master’s degree in Performance and Sport Psychology and Education, Brian brings a deep understanding of how performance, identity, and pressure evolve over time. He recognizes that burnout isn’t a failure of resilience, it’s often the result of carrying too much resistance for too long. Brian is ACC-certified and has completed advanced training in Empathy-Based Coaching, Life Coaching, Medical High-Performance Training, and Wellness Coaching. This multidisciplinary foundation allows him to work effectively across elite sport, executive leadership, and medical-adjacent environments, bridging performance science with emotional intelligence and human sustainability. His coaching approach moves beyond productivity fixes and mindset reframes. Instead, Brian helps clients:

• Identify the invisible forces weighing them down
• Rebuild internal stability under pressure
• Redefine performance in a way that is strong, grounded, and sustainable

At the heart of his work is the belief that true high performance isn’t about escaping gravity, it’s about learning how to defy it. Clients describe Brian’s presence as steady, perceptive, and deeply human, someone who creates clarity without force, challenge without judgment, and progress without burnout. The result is not just recovery, but a renewed ability to lead, compete, and perform with purpose
