In our first championship run, we failed to win because of fear. Next time up we addressed it. We brought in Mark and his work with the team moved their mentality from fear to confidence. Using strategies he gave them, we conquered that fear and won the trophy. This year as we pursued our championship title defense, Mark worked with the team to address the issues of a complacency mentality. We won. His work was a big part of our success. The kids eat it up and ask when he will return—I wish they would listen to me the way they listen to him! Mark is a leader and an accomplished mental coach. We are very fortunate to work with him…I am on a second career after 35 years as an executive in the Investment management business. I have had many executive coaches. I wish Mark was my executive coach because I have no doubt he can bring out the best in others. I know this now through my second career, a high school coach of two-time Florida state championship team. That’s because I have watched Mark’s work with our team and with individual players. He can help create champions.

I began working with Mark in 2019 in an effort to reaccelerate my career in investment banking after an extended illness. Since 2019, my work with Mark has encompassed a career reboot, cancer relapse and countless challenges as a professional, husband and father. Mark is able to move seamlessly between topics ranging from mental toughness, performance optimization, physical fitness and nutrition; as well as many others. Mark began working with my two oldest children (18 and 16 years old) to help them fulfill their potential as student-athletes and has become an unofficial member of our family. Mark is a rising star in the world of Sport Psychology and we all feel privileged to have him in our corner.

I’ve been surrounded by elite coaches my entire life. My father was an NBA head coach, my brother was an NBA head coach and is currently the head coach at USC. I have never met anyone who develops the complete human being like Mark Glicini. When Mark began working with our son Henry, a Division I lacrosse player at Bucknell, we thought we were hiring a mental-performance coach for the field. Instead, we witnessed a masterclass in becoming a man. Mark taught Henry to see every obstacle as a divine redirect, to choose discipline when emotions pulled him off course, to lead relationships with intention, and to root everything in faith. The growth off the field was wonderful to witness. That transformation was so profound that I asked Mark to speak to a group of Dallas women — moms raising kids from grade school through college, running households, serving on boards, and striving to lead at home, work, and in our community. Mark gave us practical tools to raise teenagers into exceptional adults, wisdom to lead with positivity, and a reframe of the “empty nest” season. He helped us see it not as an ending, but as an open field to conquer new goals, chase bigger dreams, and achieve what once felt impossible, all anchored in gratitude. Mark doesn’t just coach athletes. He raises leaders. Our family, our friends, and every room we enter is stronger because of him. If you want to become the highest version of yourself as an athlete, a parent, or a woman stepping into greater leadership, get Mark Glicini in your corner. He will change your life and the lives of everyone you love, forever.
