Our Team

Michael Argyrides
Founder, ICF Life & Wellness Coach

My name is Michael, and I am a life and wellness coach specializing in athletic performance and mindset development. As a former professional soccer player, blood cancer survivor, and stem cell transplant recipient, my life has been shaped by adversity, resilience, and growth. I founded Path to Becoming to create the kind of space I once needed and to help others strengthen and develop their mindset with clarity and intention.

Who I Support:

Boys & Men - I understand the unique and complex challenges boys and men face when it comes to vulnerability and seeking support.

Cancer Survivors - As a cancer survivor, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals navigating the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental demands of their journey.

Athletes - Drawing from my professional and personal experience, I help athletes enhance their performance through athletic performance training.
