These strategies have not only improved my performance, but also increased my enjoyment of the sport and have helped me achieve my goals of performing at the next level. I’ve become more resilient in the face of challenges and more confident in my abilities. I have not only persevered, I have excelled to the extent that I will be competing at the Division I level.”

Abby Mogg

Cross County/Track, College of Charleston

“I am grateful to Marc for sharing practical strategies that helped her believe in her abilities and find the strength to persevere through challenges. Marc’s influence has not only shaped her performance on the court but has also left an indelible mark on her character.”

Vickie Trotter

Parent of Cross Country/Track Runner

“Marc led and develops our leadership and character development program. Marc has put together an extensive program that we use year-round with our team. Marc does 3-4 sessions in the spring with 20-30 players. He then builds on that with our varsity players in the summer, with 4-6 more sessions. He then has weekly sessions with the varsity captains/leaders during the season. This has been a huge addition to our program. I think it separates our program from many others. “

Mike Stine

Head Football Coach

Grant Bochenski

Swimmer, University of Missouri

“Marc’s approach is positive & inspiring. If you have coaches & trainers for sport-specific skills, plus strength & conditioning, but you don’t have a mental game coach – you are missing out.”

Brad Kampschroeder

Parent, Basketball Athlete

“Coach A has taught me invaluable techniques for maintaining focus, controlling my mentality, and visualizing success. These strategies have not only improved my performance but also increased my enjoyment of the sport and have helped me achieve my goals of performing at the next level.”

Liv Phillip

Cross Country/Track, University of Wisconsin - Madison

“Marc has made a tremendous difference in our son’s life. Marc has helped him work through the mental blocks that kept him from performing to his potential. After achieving several personal bests his senior year, our son will be competing at the college level, knowing Marc has equipped him with the cognitive skills to be the best runner he can be.”

Parent of Cross Crountry/Track Runner

“Coach Anderson’s teaching style allows kids to learn and grow in a comfortable environment. My athletes would leave Coach Anderson’s lessons feeling at ease, refreshed, and ready for competition. He helped our student athletes navigate the mental side of sports, all while guiding them through the aspects of how to become a better teammate and leader. Our players look forward to working with Coach Anderson every chance they get.”

David Eaton

Head Girl's Basketball Coach

“I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know just how critical Liv’s work with you has been to her development as both a runner and a person. Liv has always possessed the drive and work ethic but with your tools, skills and guidance she has been able to achieve her goal in becoming a Division I athlete. More importantly, she has learned skills and processes that she can employ in all aspects of her life that will far outlast her collegiate athletic career. Your focus on the controllables, understanding there is a process towards a goal and being present in the moment not only has allowed her to achieve her goals in cross country and track, but she has deepened her love of the sport. All the athletic training in the world can’t replicate what happens when you employ physical skills with mental strength and development and Liv would not be where she is today if it wasn’t for your coaching and guidance.”

Esther Phillips

Parent of Cross Country/Track Runner

“Working with Coach A has given me confidence in my game.”

John Henry Anderson

“Working with Marc (Coach A) has been a game-changer for my mental performance. Before our sessions, I struggled with a significant mental block that held me back from reaching my full potential. Coach A’s guidance and techniques helped me overcome these challenges, allowing me to focus and perform at my best. This newfound mental strength played a crucial role in my success at the Pan American Championships, where I won Gold. I am incredibly grateful for Coach A’s support and expertise, which have been extremely helpful in my journey as a gymnast.”

Alexandra Mytnik

USA Gymnastics

“My son immediately connected with Coach A and became excited about the skills Coach A was teaching him. In the past 8 months my son’s confidence in his ability to perform in high pressure situations has grown exponentially. When we leave a session with Coach A my son is excited and motivated to utilize the skills he just learned. Coach A has an amazing presence with young athletes and has truly helped my son grow mentally both on and off the court.”

Rachel Anderson

Parent of Basketball Player

“I’ve worked with Coach A for over a year, and he helped me so much mentally to improve to have an opportunity to play at the next level. Going to Coach A allowed me to learn skills that helped me play confidently and through adversity which ultimately has allowed me to play at a higher level. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Coach A so I could become a better person and athlete.”

Ciara Johnson

Soccer Player, Loras College

“Marc served as our mental and leadership coach for our football program. During the season he met with all our levels to deliver a weekly message about focus and leadership to our players.  I have witnessed his teachings working with the players taking part in those sessions. They have taken what they learned back to their teammates and leading them into positive direction towards the upcoming season.  I’m always impressed to hear what Marc shares with our players and then seeing it repeat with their teammates, I know they are getting the message.”
