Tra Battle is a former collegiate and professional athlete. Born in Forsyth, GA to working class parents, Tra learned from a young age the importance of hard work, dedication, persistence, and perseverance. Always labeled as being too small to succeed, a recurring theme in Tra’s life has been to overcome adversity and defy the odds. His “Can Do” attitude translated to both academic success in the classroom and athletic notoriety on the football field.

Tra Battle is a Life & Executive Coach, Keynote Speaker, and Leadership Trainer. With years of experience in leadership and customer service, Tra is passionate about improving leadership capabilities for leaders and their teams. Additionally as a former professional athlete, he understands and promotes the importance of coaching individuals to directly impact the success of the entire team.

Beyond sports, Tra has a heart longing to serve. After retirement, Tra led a ten-year anesthesia technician career working in the operating room for Piedmont Hospital. Tra then transitioned to Chick-fil-A as a Director of Operations where it was his pleasure to successfully led two franchises in Buford and Dacula, GA. In this capacity he poured love and care for both his team and the community. This love for the community became overwhelming and led him to where he currently serves as the Director of Guest Experience for Victory Church in Buford, GA.

Throughout Tra’s life there have been a myriad of doubters, naysayers, obstacles and hurdles, including a life-threatening bout with Mental Health Illness in 2013. It was a difficult time that he now has the privilege to share as both a testimony and an example of freedom. In building a house, there are standard operating tools that are used to ensure that the home is built safe and secure. Tra’s message is much the same. In order to lead a safe and secure life, there are certain tools specific to the individual but necessary for all. It is from this perspective, that Tra leads with a faith-based foundation to help equip others with these tools and encourage them to not only to live, but to live life to its fullest potential.
