Kristi Hujik
Health & Performance
Coach & Strategist
Built In Elite Performance Environments
For nearly 30 years, I worked inside high-pressure sports media environments at ESPN, the Golf Channel, and SiriusXM — collaborating closely with professional athletes, production teams, and leadership where performance, precision, and consistency were non-negotiable.
Being embedded in that world gave me a front-row seat to something most people never see.
Elite performers don’t rely on grit alone — they systematically build the capacity required to perform when it matters most.
That perspective became the foundation of my work and my life today.
As a Health & Performance Coach & Strategist, I help CEOs, business leaders, and high performers thrive.
In this high-stakes environment resilience, focus, and sustainable energy aren’t luxuries—they’re the competitive edge.
Performance rarely collapses all at once.
More often, people adapt to operating in survival mode — checking boxes, getting through the day, and calling it sustainable because the work is still getting done.
Under constant demand, effectiveness erodes quietly through:
persistent fatigue
decision overload
nervous system strain
reduced focus and patience
disengagement that precedes visible performance issues
Long before results decline on paper, the cost is already being paid — through higher sick days, rising healthcare costs, underutilized wellness initiatives, and preventable turnover.
Most leaders and teams don’t struggle because they lack intelligence, discipline, or care.
They struggle because there’s no clear bridge between good intentions and daily execution.
This is where my work begins.
When Survival Becomes the Standard
What Sustains High Performance
Thriving isn’t about pushing harder or doing less.
It’s about having the internal support to meet ongoing demand — day after day — without quietly paying for it later.
That support is built deliberately across three interconnected areas.
The Framework
Resilience
Resilience isn’t about endurance.
It’s about how well you regulate stress, recover, and adapt when demands don’t let up.
When resilience is supported:
stress resolves faster
setbacks don’t derail momentum
steadiness replaces reactivity
recovery becomes a focal point
Focus
Focus isn’t a personality trait — it’s a condition that can be strengthened or depleted.
When focus is supported:
decisions come with more clarity
mental noise decreases
attention stays on what matters most
This is where effectiveness returns.
Energy
Energy isn’t created by stimulants or pushing through fatigue.
It’s built through proper sleep, nutrition, movement, and recovery — by supporting the system instead of overriding it.
When energy is supported:
output is steadier throughout the day
recovery actually restores
reliance on artificial stimulation decreases
This allows people to work hard — and sustain it.
How I Work
Turning Insight
Into Action
Most leaders and teams already know what should support performance.
What’s missing is a practical way to apply it — consistently — in real life.
My work centers on simple, intentional actions that strengthen how people operate day to day, without adding more to already full schedules. It’s what I call the Minimum Effective Dose.
The work starts with leaders and extends outward — because when leaders operate differently, teams follow, and culture builds.
What This Looks Like
leadership-focused coaching
practical workshops, lunch & learns, and talks
small changes designed to compound over time
No overwhelm. No generic wellness programs.
Just support that fits real demands and produces results.
