Meet The FIRST Coach
Why FIRST Works
Getting the most out of your team and athletes is never about talent alone. Achieving peak performance requires talent + learning and building the specific, hidden forces that create the internal game. The biggest problem coaches face is athletes are not properly equipped with the knowledge and tools to understand how to use the internal forces which create their thoughts, choices, actions and ultimately, results.
Your athletes will walk away having learned how to:
- Develop their GOAT mindset
- Master their self talk for immediate results
- Realize a completely new ceiling of potential
- Naturally create stronger influence and confidence with others
- Turn setbacks into improvements
- Unlock the secrets behind winning choice making
- Combine potential + talent + mindset for ultimate performance
- Break through the unknown limiting barriers they have built
- Put themselves on a positive momentum path at any moment
There is only ONE way for an athlete to realize and hit their true athletic peak, and that is they must know how to win themselves and their mind.... FIRST.

About Mark
Mark decided to combine the lessons he learned from his collegiate basketball career (never saw a shot he didn't like) with insights from his 27 years in coaching to create FIRST. FIRST is a unique blend of athletic, business, psychological, science, logic and practicality that teaches the foundations of where achievement truly starts. When Mark isn't in a locker room he loves hanging with his family which includes his wife Amy, daughter Ellie (13), and son Joey (11). Mark also is an assistant football and baseball coach and gymnastics dad. Mark's stress burner is going to the gym and doing a spin class or hot yoga (least flexible person ever). Favorite sports teams are Lakers, Dodgers, Bengals and Reds. Mark currently lives just outside of Atlanta, GA after growing up in the Southern California area.
