Jim Fannin was born November 4, 1949 in Ashland, Kentucky. He is a graduate of East Tennessee State University with a B.S. in marketing and psychology. According to his official website, "Fannin has coached more champions – in sports, business and life – than anyone on earth. As a mental performance coach to some of the world’s top athletes and most successful company CEOs, he has been called the 'Change Your Life' Coach. His thought management system has transformed tens of thousands of people’s lives by teaching them to reduce and manage their thoughts – putting them in a 'Zone' mindset."

Fannin created and personally funded a private research project in 1974 with three Ph.D.’s from Ohio State University that focused on maximizing learning in children. This 18-month research project spawned his S.C.O.R.E.® Success System with its powerful 90-Second Rule tools and techniques that became the groundbreaking model that effectively attracts the “Zone” mindset for reaching peak performance. This led to Fannin becoming the ZoneCoach® to amateur and professonal athletes worldwide.
