Greg Clink
Championship Culture Architect | Keynote Speaker | Former NCAA Head Coach
A proven leader and championship culture architect who spent 16 seasons as Head Coach of Chico State Men’s Basketball, transforming the program into one of the premier NCAA Division II teams in the nation. His success was not accidental, it was built on clear standards, daily habits, and a culture rooted in accountability, toughness, and unity.
At the heart of Greg’s philosophy are his 10 Core Principles, a framework that shaped how his teams practiced, competed, and carried themselves on and off the court. These principles created an environment where leadership was developed, expectations were elevated, and individuals committed to something greater than themselves.
Today, Greg brings those same battle-tested strategies to organisations and executive teams. His keynotes are practical, motivating, and results-driven, equipping leaders to build strong cultures, elevate performance, and create sustainable success.
