Jonathan Pope

Jonathan Pope has spent more than twenty years coaching professional athletes, special operators, and people from every walk of life—all while rebuilding his own body after a series of serious injuries, and while pursuing ski mountaineering objectives around the world. That combination of coaching expertise and lived experience shapes how he thinks about stress, resilience, and sustainable performance. He’s the co-founder of Building the Elite, which teaches these principles to special operations candidates across more than 130 units worldwide. His book, coaching programs, and writing can be found at buildingtheelite.com.
