Garret Kramer is an American author, speaker, coach, and teacher. He is the founder and managing partner of Inner Sports, a Morristown, New Jersey, firm specializing in non-duality and its relevance to performance, happiness and sports psychology.[1]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kramer claimed that the widely accepted germ theory of disease lacks scientific evidence and asked that his audience explore for themselves before getting the vaccine.[2][3]

Early life and background[]

Born in Paterson, New Jersey and raised in nearby Clifton,[4] Kramer graduated in 1980 from the Montclair Kimberley Academy, a secondary school in Montclair, New Jersey, where he played varsity ice hockey from 1977 to 1980. In the latter year Kramer was the leading scorer in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association and a first-team All-State selection. In 2008, he returned to Montclair Kimberley as head coach of the team.[5]

Kramer earned a bachelor's degree in 1984 from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, where he continued playing ice hockey. He then coached the junior varsity team at Hamilton for one year.[6] Following his time at Hamilton, Kramer took up the game of golf and qualified for four USGA championships.

Career[]

In 1995,[7] Kramer founded an organization called Inner Sports,[8] which mentors performers, athletes, coaches, and organizations on one’s true nature, or Consciousness, and its bearing on performance.[9] Kramer often conducts seminars and day-long workshops for the general public about exploring the nature of Self and its implications.[10]

Forbes magazine wrote about Kramer: "His revolutionary approach to performance has transformed the careers of professional athletes and coaches, Olympians, and collegiate players across a multitude of sports."[11] Kramer has appeared WFAN, WOR, ESPN, FOX, NBC, Golf Channel, CBS, and CTV.[11][12]

Authorship[]

Kramer is the author of two books, Stillpower: Excellence With Ease in Sports and Life[13][14] (ISBN 978-1582703886)), which "argues that knowing thyself is more important [in performance] than having a command of the skills and behaviors needed,"[13] and The Path of No Resistance: Why Overcoming Is Simpler Than You Think (ISBN 978-1-62634-117-3). His third book, True Self (ISBN 978-1626347779), is due out in 2022.[15]

All-star ice hockey player Zach Parise wrote the foreword to Stillpower[12] and told Sports Illustrated in 2010 that he seeks Kramer’s counsel about handling the ebb and flow of life on and off the ice.[16]

Personal[]

Kramer lives in New Jersey with his wife and three children.[12]
