—— THE TRAVIS STORY
Travis Corpening of Corpening Personal Development grew up like many other young men with his eyes set on a goal of playing professional sports. Becoming a 2-sport star in high school basketball and track Travis earned full scholarship honors and was able to play basketball at the collegiate level.
Unfortunately, however, his life took an interesting turn as simultaneously stress, team troubles, and health issues all seemed to close in on him at the same time. Like so many other students that experience life altering challenges in college, he found himself back at home depressed and ready to give up on himself, and his talent.
Fortunately, a track coach from the University of North Carolina Wilmington took a chance on him giving him another opportunity to compete. Two years later Travis had become a 3-time Division I track and field champion despite being told he could never do it.
Travis shares his story of resilience and believing in yourself even when others do not. One of his monikers is “Tell Me I can’t, I will”. This is the mentality he shares with the world and the ideal he wants his students to hold on to. Countless students at multiple educational levels from across the country call Travis a mentor as he has consistently pushed them to be their best selves and leads graduates across the stage.
Having worked at every educational level and spending 10 plus years at the collegiate mentoring and advising students Travis has a gift for helping and connecting with students of all ages.

If you ask any successful person in any industry how they became successful you will soon find that they had 3 things in common:
- First there was someone in their life that took the time to lend leadership and guidance.
- The second thing is they had a belief in their abilities no matter what others had to say.
- And finally, they had an eye for seeing problems as opportunities.
