Benton Lewis, MA, RSCC

Founder | Coach & Advisor

I’m a readiness and resilience advisor supporting the US Army as a contractor. I grew up as a military brat, and over time, my path evolved from Aquatic Rescue & Risk Management Instructor to Strength & Conditioning Coach, and ultimately to developing evidence-based performance solutions for warfighters, first responders, and other high-stakes professionals.

My work integrates postmodern coaching frameworks, behavioral science, and applied performance technologies to help clients prepare for mission-essential tasks, physically demanding operations, and a life of sustainable resilience. I specialize in remote coaching, performance education, and interdisciplinary collaboration: Blending entrepreneurial agility with critical coaching epistemologies to reduce injury risk, accelerate return-to-duty timelines, and optimize operational performance.

I’m currently pursuing board certification in Health & Wellness Coaching to deepen my alignment with the Department of Defense’s Total Force Fitness (TFF) framework and support scalable, branch-specific readiness strategies.
