Meet Your Coach - Greg Plater

Greg’s diversified life experience as a former professional basketball player, first-generation college graduate, tech recruiter, Art Director, basketball coach, multi-hyphenate creative, and student of life – have all shaped his identity. He believes feel (empathy), drive, and being a sponge for learning with an open mind + perspective are key to unlocking our potential. His excitement comes in listening, observing, and bringing what is missing to the forefront. When the world is your playground, life is the curriculum.

  • "Greg Plater is filled with enough energy to power the sun, enough passion to power the stars, enough wisdom to carry the moon, and enough heartfelt care to keep the earth spinning for humanity. With the clarity of a seasoned veteran and the wonder for discovery of the secrets of the world, Greg Plater reveals bold new perspectives for life enhancement delivered in digestible portions and steps. Through physical and mental exercises, his high level experience in the high-octane, highly strategic world of international basketball shows up in how he organizes his lesson plans and helps others execute their visions with precision and room for team work."

    Jason E.C. Wright (Research/Education, Design)

  • "During our careers we meet many people along the way, sometimes they are our bosses or peers, sometimes they are competitors, occasionally you meet someone randomly that inspires you. Greg is one of those people for me. Greg is creative, thoughtful and very focused on helping others while also seeing his future value add clearly. Greg is an artist and a thinker and as a former top tier athlete he knows how to focus like a laser. What strikes me most is Greg's ability to clearly see opportunities that abound around all of us. Greg is at the beginning of what I predict will be a very long and successful career at the nexus of creativity and value creation. If you have a chance to work with Greg be sure and tap into his creativity and his intelligence then just let him fly, you will be glad you did."

    Dion Lisle (Ventures | Innovation | FinTech | Startup Advisor)

  • "I'd give coach Greg 6 stars if I could. As a senior in HS and going on to play D1 next year, my daughter has worked out with a wide variety of coaches over the years. But Greg is really special. He understands the game on an intricate and organic level and goes the extra mile to push when pushing is called for. He should be a professional coach somewhere because his understanding of the players he coaches is truly unique."

    Parent of UPenn WBB Alum

  • "Greg's leadership skills are grounded in worldly empathy, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking. Working collaboratively with him on several projects over the years, I have always felt understood, seen, and challenged to produce my best work. He has a unique ability to elevate ideas, pursue clarity, and guide intention to achieve meaningful outcomes. If ideas are water, Greg is a well; accessing deep flows of natural creativity. Working with him has always felt creatively invigorating. He's a true leader who amplifies and empowers those around him, and he brings a fearless creativity to all projects we work on together."
