Tim Dixon’s Speaker Biography
Most people get to the edge of their comfort zone and that is where they stop. Tim Dixon has spent his entire life studying the ones who don’t.
A former professional baseball player in the Montreal Expos, Boston Red Sox, and Milwaukee Brewers organizations, Tim knows firsthand what it takes to perform at the highest level when the lights are brightest. He went on to earn a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology and built one of the country’s most respected mental performance brands, The Mental Locker, and is taking those same principles into the organizations, stages, and leadership teams ready to operate at a championship level.
As Director of Coaching at Buffini & Company, Tim led a department of 54 coaches that drove $954.7 million in client earnings, outperforming industry benchmarks by 10x. In 2021 alone, his team contributed to a record-breaking $1.45 billion in client GCI and over 126,000 closed transactions. These aren’t motivational talking points, they’re the measurable results of a man who has mastered the science and art of human performance.
Tim has stood on the stage for the U.S. FDA, University of Oregon, Southern Illinois University Business School, Easton, the United States Air Force Academy, and dozens of corporate and athletic organizations across the country. He’s coached elite athletes, CEOs, frontline managers, and military cadets and every single time, the message is the same: Championships are Scheduled.
A #1 Best-Selling Author, Cal State Fullerton National Champion and Hall of Fame inductee, and Award-Winning Ethics Advisor at the Air Force Academy, Tim brings credibility that few speakers can match and a presence from the stage that audiences never forget. His high-energy, no-fluff approach doesn’t just inspire, it installs a new operating system for how people think, prepare, and execute.
“Tim Dixon is one of the best mental performance coaches I’ve had the privilege to work with. He is really successful in connecting with his audience.”
— George Horton, Head Baseball Coach, University of Oregon
When Tim Dixon takes the stage, he doesn’t leave room for excuses. He seeks clarity, accountability, and a burning urgency to go after the life and results you’ve been putting off. If your organization is ready to stop settling and start scheduling championships, Tim is your speaker.

Speech Topics
Competing with AI Starts Between your Ears:
Every company is rushing to implement AI. Almost none of them are preparing their PEOPLE for it. Tim brings two AI certifications and two decades of performance psychology to answer the question: What does the human who works alongside AI need to think, feel, and do differently to stay irreplaceable? Drawing from pro sports, military leadership, and enterprise coaching, Tim delivers a concrete mental performance framework for thriving in the AI era.
Your Championship Culture Code:
Culture isn’t a ping-pong table or a values poster. It’s the decisions your team makes when no one is watching and the pressure is highest. Tim has built Championship Cultures in three different arenas, Professional Baseball, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and a Coaching Department that generated $954.7M in client results. This talk delivers the work it takes to create Your Championship Culture: accountability systems, individual ownership, and the performance mindset that turns average teams into organizations that compete at a championship level year after year.
Proactively Beating Burnout:
Burnout isn’t a wellness problem. It’s a performance system failure and your best people are the most at risk. Tim reframes the mental health conversation through the lens of elite athletic conditioning. You don’t ask an Elite Athlete to perform day in and day out without a recovery protocol, so why do we expect our top performers to operate without one? This isn’t a self-care talk. It’s a high-performance systems overhaul delivered with the urgency and directness of a Championship Coach.
Scheduling Your Championship:
Most people wait for a championship moment to arrive. Elite performers schedule it. Tim’s signature talk, rooted in his bestselling book, The Mental Locker, delivers the mindset frameworks that pro athletes, military officers, and top-performing sales teams use to execute when it counts. Walk away with the work it takes to build your own Championship Culture.
Your Story Matters:
The leaders who win in business, in the locker room, or in the boardroom are the ones who can move people with a story before a single slide is shown. Tim has spent 15 plus years on stages reverse-engineering exactly what makes a performance story land, make an impact, and change behavior. Your story connects you to your audience, creates trust and can open the door to what’s possible in just about any arena. After this session you will realize your story is the most influential tool you have.
