Leave Your Mark
The Leave Your Mark Podcast is where high performance meets human stories. Each week, we go beyond résumés and highlight reels to explore how extraordinary people—high achievers who are also genuinely good humans—have been shaped by their environments, experiences, and the people around them.
More importantly, we uncover how they are leaving their mark on the world.
Step inside the minds and lives of remarkable individuals from sport, business, arts, and beyond—and walk away inspired to leave your own mark.
Your host, Scott Livingston, has spent over 35 years in the world of human performance. He’s trained, reconditioned, and supported some of the best athletes on the planet, working inside elite performance environments and learning firsthand what it takes to be the best in the world.

Coaching Olympic Athletes, Building Technology, and Finding Your Own Path with Chris Chapman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Chris Chapman, a veteran Strength & Conditioning Coach, Sport Scientist, educator, and outdoor adventurer whose career has spanned eight Olympic quadrennials, multiple sports, and the rapidly evolving world of performance technology.
Chris currently serves as the Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach for Canada's Slopestyle and Big Air Freeski Team, while also working as a Sport Scientist with WHOOP. Over the course of our conversation, we explore a career that has taken him from traditional Olympic sport environments to startup culture, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
We discuss:
• Growing up with dreams of becoming a fighter pilot, video game tester, and martial artist
• How martial arts shaped his approach to coaching and life
• The role nature plays in his mental health, creativity, and personal growth
• Lessons learned working across eight Olympic cycles
• Building trust and buy-in with athletes in high-risk sports such as freestyle skiing
• Why context matters more than absolutes in coaching
• The transition from high-performance sport to the technology sector
• Product development, innovation, and the realities of bringing new ideas to market
• Mentorship lessons from legendary Canadian coach Chris Delcin
• The importance of humility, kindness, and choosing your battles wisely
• Why innovation often struggles inside large organizations
• His vision for creating a nature-based training and wellness retreat in Northern Ontario
Chris is thoughtful, reflective, and deeply passionate about helping people perform at their best. Whether you're a coach, therapist, sport scientist, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to build a meaningful career, there are lessons in this conversation for you.
Enjoy the conversation.
