Personal Development Coach

Victory Beyond Competition

Hello and welcome! My name is Victor, and I am a Toronto-based personal development coach with about 10 years of development, and care coaching experience. I have the pleasure of working with Professional, Amateur, NCAA, and USport athletes to help them flourish as humans and achieve “victory beyond competition”.

About Me

I was born and raised in a project neighborhood outside Toronto to Vietnamese immigrant parents. I have lived anything but the “American Dream” to say the least. From the separation of my parents to having trouble with the law or making ends meet, I can relate with your hardships.  Thankfully, I have found tremendous favor through the trials that I can only attribute to God alone, and have turned each obstacle into opportunities, and each loss into a lesson.

I have always had a heart for people and a desire to help, I get that from my mom.  The passion to develop, and invest in people, this was modelled to me by a handful of older men that saw something special in me when no one else did and did not walk away when they heard where I was from, nor about my marred past.  On the contrary, they instead generously offered to me, their wisdom, knowledge, hope, and friendship. Furthermore, I learned the value of giving myself away for the sake of others hence my ongoing desire to invest all I have to offer to others.

In addition to being the Life & Skills Coach with Chick-Fil-a Toronto, I am working in mentorship, leadership development and care coaching with Athletes in Action resourcing Team Canada athletes, formerly NCAA athletes from the University of Washington, Seattle Pacific and currently working USport athletes from the University of Toronto, and Ryerson University respectively. I operate in the domain of helping students and athletes ultimately achieve “Victory Beyond Competition” through spiritual formations, and empowering them to be change makers in the world, starting with self.

Married to my wonderful wife Tracy. We have two beautiful blessings in Gwenyth Elise and Ezra Jordan.  And of course, our beloved dog Kobi.

Working with Victor over the last 6 years has been such a pleasure, and I have been able to glean so much wisdom from him through our time together. He's helped me navigate the trials of the world of sport not only as an athlete, but as a complete person. I'm so happy to have him on my team!
