Biography

Debbie Lantz, founder and managing partner of Higher Road Leaders, has been actively involved in athletics her entire life. Sports played a significant role in Debbie’s development as a child, leading her to pursue a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in exercise physiology. As an adult, she coached at public schools and worked in the fitness industry for many years before taking her coaching skills to business executives across the nation. Leveraging the leadership expertise she acquired through coaching, Lantz developed an executive-level coaching program geared to equipping executives with values-based leadership skills.
As a single mom, Lantz experienced youth sports from her son’s perspective. After several years of observing coaches and parents and far too many examples of the “win at all cost attitude,” she found it was easier to teach her son the mental edge principles he needed to survive and thrive in the competitive environment of youth sports. Based on her own experience in teaching her son these vital skills, she was inspired to write I Just Want To Play. The book encourages and teaches parents, coaches, league directors, and athletic directors to focus on the “play” aspect of the game instead of the “winning at all cost” attitude prevalent today. It also shares the secrets of teaching the seven mental edge principles children need to have a positive experience in youth sports.

Lantz has been coaching business leaders since 1991, facilitating change initiatives and team building among Fortune 500 companies such as Hitachi, Nokia, and TI.

Today, Lantz speaks to sports league directors, coaches, parent groups and individuals in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. Many of the leadership principles Lantz teaches can be found in I Just Want To Play. To invite Ms. Lantz to speak with your sports or church group, send an email to debbie@HigherRoadLeaders.com.
