Mike Krzyzewski Helping to Launch Digital Startup

Duke Men’s Basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski is working with Duke alums to help launch a digital leadership development platform.

Mike Krzyzewski has been extremely busy coaching the Duke Men’s Basketball program, recruiting new players, leading the men’s national team to a gold medal in the 2016 Summer Olympics, and more. He recently announced that he is working with a group of Duke alumni to launch a startup for a digital leadership development platform called PowerForward.

PowerForward allows users to receive videos from the Duke coach and other top leaders to help team building and provide inspiration and leadership advice. Coach K is working with Creative Artists Agency to help launch and develop the product. Krzyzewski has always had a passion for leadership as a coach and motivational speaker. He decided to join the new company saying:

“Since my time at West Point, leadership has been a core passion of mine and something I’ve taught my teams at Duke and USA Basketball. PowerForward captures the essence of many core leadership principles I’ve shared with my players for decades and applies it to business teams. What energized me about PowerForward is the ability to share my own storytelling and values-driven approach with an entirely new audience off the court in the corporate and start-up communities.”

Mike Krzyzewski has had an all-time great coaching career. He’s currently the winningest men’s basketball coach in NCAA history, leading the Blue Devils to five national titles. Coach K has also excelled in international competition, leading Team USA to three Olympic gold medals and two World Championships. Be sure to check out more information about PowerForward here.
