He understands that many principles and practices of elite performers translate to any environment and works to accelerate and maximize results.
Throughout his life, Rennie has experienced his fair share of ups and downs. The son of Liberian immigrants, Rennie dedicated the first half of his life to excelling at high school, college, and eventually professional football.

After stepping aside from the NFL, Rennie built his current brand and business, Game Changer Coaching, completely from scratch. Rennie credits his supportive family and community as a primary source of his motivation, and enjoys teaching others how they too can create a system that works for them.

Rennie Curran just wowed a room full of meeting planners/meetings industry professionals - not an easy group to impress! While speaking at a recent Meeting Professionals International, Georgia Chapter event, Rennie was personable and entertaining, but WAY more importantly, he had done his research on our group and attendees and offered tangible, take-home messages that our attendees can use today to elevate their careers. Although I am a football fan, you certainly don't need to be one to relate to Rennie's story and his message. I look forward to recommending Rennie to my clients for future programs.

He uses his passion for not just football but for God and provides a great example of what a humble servant should be. God has truly blessed Rennie on and off the field and Rennie is sure to use every bit of that talent. We had a HUGE turnout for our event and I can’t tell you how many people have called to let me know how much Rennie has impacted them and how great of a job he did.
