Ohio State Athletics
We are dedicated to the people we serve whether student-athletes, staff or guests. We will represent the university and its proud heritage with our commitment to achieving excellence in all we do. When scores are long forgotten, and memories of competitions fade, it’s the people that remain. What those people were inspired to do as a result of being Buckeyes will be the true and lasting measure of the program’s success.
Built to Lead Overview
Built to Lead believes the world is full of mediocre, transactional teams; teams that exist to make a decent product, provide a fairly good environment for their workers, and treat their customers to some ‘garden variety’ of good service. Built to Lead also believes most individuals, teams, and leaders want so much more. They want to get better, but they simply do not know how.
"At Built to Lead, we know what builds sustainable, high performance individuals, teams, and leaders in work and life."

"Built to Lead has brought immense changes, teaching us not only how to lead within our team but also how to lead ourselves. This program has transformed our mindset and positively influenced our performance. I've gained invaluable insights and discovered more about myself - lessons that I will carry with me throughout my life"
- Brooke Vinson, Women's Lacrosse #8
“Built to Lead for me has been a constant reminder of where my focus should be in different areas of my life. In my experience, it can get really chaotic managing not only your emotions as a student athlete, but also your responses to the emotions of your teammates and coaches. Being a student athlete, you have to balance athletics, academics, social, etc. Built to Lead has helped me reinforce my core values to better manage and navigate all of that.”
- Bobby Van Buren, Senior Captain, Men's Lacrosse #44
"The Built to Lead program has been a critical component of Buckeye Lacrosse. Each week, to have dedicated time to focus on our individual and team leadership skills, and devote intentional time to foster our brotherhood off the field has been exceptional. Not only are we developing our athletes as people, we’re giving them a wealth of skills for them to walk with in life. On a personal level, my weekly meetings with Chet have been some of the most impactful hours in my week. I credit him to developing my coaching skills, managerial skills, my parenting and husband skills, and am just incredibly grateful to have him."
- Nick Myers, Head Men's Lacrosse Coach
“Practicing with Built to Lead and Chet has been instrumental at helping our team better identify and clarify the things we believe and give value to as a program. Built to Lead practice demands that we have deeper and more meaningful relationships as teammates and is growing our capacity to give and serve each other as a program. Built to Lead creates an environment outside of practice to be our authentic selves and develop our leadership skills amongst each other. In a few short weeks we have seen tremendous growth in our team as well as a stronger and more unified voice on the field. For me personally, working with Chet one hour a week has helped me be clearer and coach truer to the dream I have, which is that the women who walk through our program to pursue excellence will be forever stronger, forever changed and forever a Buckeye. I am a better leader, coach, wife, and mother because of the work and learning I am doing with in the Built to Lead program. I am incredibly appreciative of the opportunity for myself, my staff, and my players to work with Chet and am grateful for the value it’s already brought to my life and Buckeye Lacrosse."
