New Board Member Announcement: Chuck Morris, Ph.D.
“We’re honored to have Dr. Chuck join the Every Kid Sports board of directors,” said Arch Fuston, Board Chair of Every Kid Sports. “His vast understanding of the neurological, emotional, and physical impact of sports participation on kids helps deepen our message around the critical nature of youth sports equity. Not only is he a wealth of knowledge, but more importantly, he is rich in character. We’re fortunate that Dr. Chuck chose Every Kid Sports to share his time and talents.”
Dr. Chuck is a scientist, and his laboratory involves a rare commitment to care and devotion to the hearts, minds, and lives of thousands of people around the world. Dr. Chuck, as he is commonly referred to, or Coach Chuck to some, has impacted a global range of clients across all social, economic, and cultural experiences.
His impressive resume includes a clientele that spans multiple generations, professions, and personal lifestyles, including several Super Bowl champions, an Olympic Gold Medalist, C-Suite executives, ultra-high net worth individuals, single and stay at home parents, and collegiate and high school athletes. The common denominator for all who seek his services, expertise, and guidance is a desire to become a better person. Dr. Chuck believes that this is part of the connected human experience. We all strive to live well (with self and others), live strong (establishing a sound foundation for self and community), live long (growing in how one sees themselves and one’s experience in the world), and finally to leave a legacy (leaving it better than the way we found it, providing the tools for others to go even further.)

Why Every Kid Sports?
“Over the past three decades, I have worked full-time in the area of advancing human performance and health. Helping thousands of people and elite athletes to include Olympic gold medals, Superbowl champions and MVP’s. So, I know first-hand what it takes to succeed at the top 1% in sports. I also know the great benefit that ALL can gain to help them become the top 1% in the game of Life, just from playing organized sports. Every Kids Sports mission to help every kid gain the benefits of playing sports is a simple but impactful mission.”
A favorite sports memory as a kid
“Although it was a new and unusual experience, spending the summer with a relative and attending a tennis summer camp that his parents had signed him up for was the best thing that happened to me. I worked hard and by the end of the camp, I had earned a spot on their state team. It was an incredible feeling and my mother was extremely proud of me. However, I was unable to participate in team matches as the student van that picked up all the kids refused to come to my neighborhood.”
