I see psychology as the next major frontier in sports performance. With
this in mind, I've asked Dr. Marc Strickland to work with my athletes to help
them achieve at a higher level. Mental preparedness is key to their success.

Joe Friel - Ultrafit Coaching

Dr. Marc has a helped me recognize self defeating behavior and has been a patient non-judgmental confidante during drama filled phases of my life. He has been empathetic and helped me see the forest for the trees and learn to prioritize issues and address them step by step. His confidence in me has meant a lot to me especially in circumstances where my own has been lacking. He reminds me to look at the bigger picture and to focus my attention on being what I can with what I have rather than beating myself up when outcomes are not what I wanted. Dr. Marc has helped me to deal with all the issues that nag me "off the pitch" and strive for balance in sport, work, study, and relationships. There are many times after a consultation with Dr. Marc that I felt I left behind a heavy box containing stress, worry and negativity and can walk away and get on with my day. I know my consultations with Dr. Marc have enriched not only my life but also the lives of those a round me.

Timex Racing

As a Professional Triathlete and 4x Ironman Champion I realize the importance of having a “sharp” mental approach to my racing. I have worked with several professionals in this field over the years but have found “my” mental training coach in Marc Strickland. From the moment I started working with Marc I knew I found the right match. Marc took the time to get to know me as an athlete, a mom and a wife, taking into account all facets of my life in order to assess how they ultimately impacted my overall performance. Together we have developed very effective race goals/strategies. I have always felt that in the sport of Triathlon, training your mind is just as important as training your body. Marc is a true professional in every sense of the word. I look forward to many more successful seasons together.
