Applying Life Lessons Through Sports With Zach Klipsch

On this interview I interviewed Zach Klipsch on how to apply life lessons through sports and how to apply those lessons in the business environment. 

Zach's Bio : 

After tearing my ACL playing soccer in high school, I developed a passion for helping others. It was a dark phase in my life, but helped me understand pain, what it means to overcome and use that experience to my advantage. After much deliberation and research trying to figure out what I wanted to do in my life, I eventually found biomedical engineering. By this time, I had already committed to Maryville University to play soccer. This led me to pursue the dual degree program Maryville has with WashU. I was able to play 4 years of collegiate soccer, 3 as captain of the team, and obtain 2 degrees in 6 years. There were many hardships, obstacles, and challenges that I overcame and learned from. My drive to be the best I can helped me persevere. As I was nearing the end of my college career, there were 3 questions I was trying to find answers to! 1) How do I live life the way I wanted to? How do I not live a life paycheck to paycheck, week to week? 2) How can I make the largest positive impact on the world around me? 3) I miss the locker room competitiveness and camaraderie of sports. Where can I find this again? The answer was entrepreneurship. Before pursuing a master’s degree in an entrepreneurial setting, I was introduced to my current mentors and launched my first company. They taught me about personal economy, real life entrepreneurial experience, and gave me that locker room feeling I yearned for. Now I am helping others solve their problems and live the way they want to through independent franchising.
