Testimonials

"Marc has guided me through the lowest moments of my life which contributed immensely towards my highest achievements. Not only did his genuine care allow me to succeed on both the collegiate and national level in athletics, but I am proud of the person I have become through my experiences with him. Marc cares deeply about his patients and their well-being beyond sports. I am extremely grateful to have Marc as a lifelong mentor and friend no matter what the circumstances are." 

~ Curran Phillips, Gymnast, Stanford University

"The first time I met with Coach A, he not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. He has taught me many useful mental skills including mental cues, trusting the process, and the confident pyramid. All of this led me to drop 14 seconds off my mile time from freshman and sophomore year. Coach A is confident when teaching and I am excited to continue working with him and seeing my progress."

-Tommy Paltzer, Track Runner University of Portland

“Coach Anderson really changed the game for me when I began seeing him. The mental aspect of the game didn’t seem quite as important to me until he taught me various skills that actually helped my overall performance on the court. Whether the game or practice is going well or not, I now know how to attack different situations mentally to improve my physical performance. These are skills I will use for the rest of my career and will be especially useful as I begin my journey playing in college this fall.”

-Greta Kampschroeder, Basketball Oregon State University

“Going into it, I wasn’t sure how the sessions would go if I’m being completely honest. I thought seeing a mental training coach would mean something was wrong with me. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I loved every session, working through my weaknesses, overcoming past failures, learning about composure and how to overcome hardships in the sport, and skills to becoming a more mentally tougher swimmer, person, teammate, and competitor.”

-Alexa Puccini Swimmer, University of Iowa

“As her mental game coach, Marc Anderson changed the way our daughter approaches the sport of basketball. When we first visited Marc she had been going through a rough patch. Not only did he help her resolve that, but through multiple sessions he gave her the tools she needed to perform better and to trust herself. She learned to be in the moment and put adversity behind her. Marc's approach is positive and inspiring. If you have coaches and trainers for sport-specific skills, plus strength and conditioning but you don't have a mental game coach--you are missing out.”

-Brad Kampschroeder

“Coach A’s mental strategies helped me reach my collegiate goals of swimming at a competitive Division 1 school. I was able to use the skills he taught to focus my thinking and block out any thoughts or comments that may hinder my performance in the water. Coach A is a true way to achieve your goals.”

-Grant Bochenski, Swimmer University of Missouri

“Grant always showed the potential to be an amazing athlete and with the help of Marc Anderson’s mental coaching and support, Grant has surpassed our expectations as a young man and athlete. We unequivocally recommend him to any other athlete that is looking to be the best they can be.” 

-Mike Bochenski and Erin Rains, Parents of Grant Bochenski

We were referred to Marc from a friend whose son saw him for mental coaching for his sport and were very happy with the progress and overall outcome. We sought out Marc to help our son with game day anxiety and to utilize mental techniques to become the best athlete he could be. We were so pleased that Marc not only focused on his sports mindset but also focused him on becoming the best person he could be. All of the training, visualization and mental toughness he taught for race day were applicable to all areas in his life. We knew the process would be a journey and would take time. However, after meeting Marc and more importantly after seeing the connection our son made with him only after the first few sessions, we knew we made the right decision to bring our son to him. We trusted Marc with the direction and path he was setting for Tommy and are thankful and grateful that we did. Tommy’s confidence in Marc has grown over the last several months and he considers Marc a coach, mentor, and friend. Marc‘s approach is to gently guide the athlete but ultimately have them choose the direction and plan a course to achieving their goals. The path has not always been smooth and there have been difficult moments along the way, but we are grateful to have Coach Marc with us to help remind us that the path is the journey. He has taught all of us to enjoy both the excitement of success and acknowledge the disappointments as they both add to the process. We sought Marc out on a referral and feel blessed that he has helped Tommy have so much success athletically and also helped him become the best version of himself overall. And as Marc always says and we believe “the best is yet to come.”
