Person-Centered, Evidence-Based
Sport and Performance Consulting
What We Do
Hi, I’m Mark, a sport and performance consultant with over 25 years of experience helping athletes and performers thrive. I hold a Ph.D. in sport psychology and bring a practical, evidence-based approach to improving focus, motivation, and resilience. Whether you’re navigating high-stakes competition or looking to rediscover the joy in your sport, I’ll help you quiet your inner critic and move forward with clarity and confidence.
As a lifelong athlete and adventurer, I’ve faced the physical and emotional highs and lows of endurance — from multi-day treks in the Himalayas and Patagonia to cycle tours across Iceland and Morocco. I understand the mindset it takes to push through doubt and reach new heights.
Let’s get to work on what’s next for you.
How It Works
1. We will explore your performance history, values, ambitions, and goals
2. We create a personalized performance profile based on your perceived strengths and areas for improvement
3. We’ll work together to implement evidence-based strategies to help you reach your personal and performance goals
4. We will explore follow-up strategies to monitor and adjust your mental training program to meet current needs
