Chet North

Chet North, originally from the state of Washington, is a national rowing champion, pilot, and served 18 seasons as the Head Athletic Trainer with Sporting KC, Kansas City's Major League Soccer franchise. He has been with the organization since the inception of the league in 1996, and is currently the Director of the Sports Performance Lab at Compass Mineral National Performance Center. Chet’s strong faith in God is represented in all that he does with work and extracurricular activities, such as his humanitarian efforts in Thailand after the 2004 tsunami. Don’t let this strong, tough-looking guy involved in professional sports fool you though. Chet has a keen storytelling ability and surprises many when they hear he wrote a romantic novel partially centering on the emotional power of a small teddy bear. Chet currently lives in the Kansas City area with his family.
