PETER BIDSTRUP
I didn’t set out to build a philosophy about leadership and performance.
I just loved to play.
As a kid, I played every sport I could. I was curious. Competitive. Hungry to see what would happen if I tried. That curiosity eventually carried me to collegiate All-American honors in lacrosse and, years later, into the Franklin & Marshall College Athletic Hall of Fame. But what shaped me far more than awards were the coaches and teachers who believed in me — especially my father, a lifelong educator and coach, who taught me that learning never ends and that people perform at their best when they feel seen, prepared, and trusted.

“I look forward to my weekly meeting with Pete. His insight and knack for asking me the right questions, quickly understanding my company’s business model and team dynamics, and inspiring me to be the best leader I can be is invaluable. He met my team and they immediately felt comfortable with him“
– Dan Garrett, CEO, Osen-Hunter Co.

Even Strong Things Crack
Last night, Ilia Malinin stepped onto the ice as the heavy favorite. The most technically gifted skater in the field. The “Quad God.” The expectations were enormous. And then the moment didn’t go his way. It always amazes me how surprised we seem to be when someone falters under enormous pressure — as if being…

Wondering Where the Lions Are?
“Lion at Rest” Your mind’s primary objective is to keep you from being eaten by a lion. Consider the implications of this for your life. That wiring made perfect sense once. But in modern life — and especially in sport — the “lion” rarely looks like a predator. It looks like a crowd, a scoreboard,…
