True Form Sports Academy was founded by Durham, North Carolina native Christopher Mayshack. Known for his athletic background and coaching experience, Christopher has continued to build upon his passion for youth development through sports, mentorship, and leadership training.

Christopher credits much of his success to the work ethic and dedication he developed growing up in the blue-collar city of Durham. A former college basketball player at North Carolina Central University, he pursued professional opportunities at SunTrust and Duke University before earning a Master of Science degree in Sports Administration from Georgia State University.

While working in student-athlete development within collegiate athletics, Christopher recognized a growing need for coaches who not only develop athletes on the court, but also encourage leadership, character development, and personal growth off the court. That realization ultimately led him toward teaching and coaching at both the high school and collegiate levels.

With extensive experience throughout the sports industry, Christopher continues to study and research the field of coaching and athlete development. During his time as a college administrator, he witnessed firsthand the impact coaches can have on the lives of young athletes. This inspired him to focus on bridging the relationship between athlete and coach in a way that promotes confidence, accountability, leadership, and long-term growth.

Christopher has become widely recognized for his passion for mentorship and his commitment to the development of the modern student-athlete. Through years of experience as both an athlete and coach, he has gained a deep understanding of what makes coaching meaningful and impactful. His approach centers on creating positive environments where athletes are challenged, supported, and empowered to succeed both in sports and in life.

Through True Form Sports Academy, Christopher continues to use basketball and mentorship as tools to inspire growth, discipline, confidence, and leadership in the next generation of athletes.
