"I had the opportunity to meet Mark when my sons played for the Long Island Sting the summers of their Junior and Senior years in high school. For a couple of Midwest players it could have been in intimidating experience but from the very outset, Marks passion, relatability and desire to see athletes and people become the best version of themselves was evident. They took a big leap from year one to year two and his consistent , steady advice and support was an important reason. As they navigated their college playing journeys, Mark has been an invaluable resource for them and our family. I have been fortunate to get to know Mark and see his passion for athletics, training, both physical and mental, manifest itself in his desire to help people through his Meaningful Growth Foundation. He has wisely learned to use the lessons of sport, team, competitiveness, selflessness and loyalty serve as the foundation for a bigger purpose. There is so much to navigate in the competitive world we live in and with firsthand experience, I would recommend Mark to anyone who asked to be a part of their journey."

"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."

"Mark's support and guidance have made me more confident in every aspect of my life. He has always been there for me and an outlet for me to express everything that is happening in my life without judgment. Mark has helped me achieve one of my most important goals, but the work that we do together helps me achieve more than just my lacrosse goals. Mark has made me the confident, bold, and compassionate person I am today, and for that, I am forever grateful."

"I just wanted to reach out to say thank you for all you did for me my first two years in the [Yale lacrosse] program. I just wanted to let you know that being able to watch you work and kind of just following in your footsteps have had a profound impact on me as both a player and a person. This whole winning the championship thing is still pretty surreal, but I know it wouldn’t have been possible without badasses like you building our foundation and paving the way. So again, I just want to say thank you."

"Mark is that rare individual who sees no middle ground. He has achieved success at the highest level, as a former Yale student-athlete. His focus and sense of purpose benefit all the players who rely upon him for mental focus on the field, where high-level performance escapes most. His understanding of the principles for success on the field, come from an intense study and acute understanding of these dynamics. Every family I have sent his way has thanked me and sung his praises. No small accomplishment in today's competitive environment. Parents want guidance and most importantly they want quantifiable results for their sons. Simply stated ... Mark delivers!"

"I have been lucky to have known Mark over the past 9 years, as he has been, and continues to be, a meaningful influence in my life. Service is a term that comes to mind when I think of Mark – he has always demonstrated a deep sense of commitment to his friends, teammates and the community at large. Mark walks the walk. His passion and energy are infectious, and his ability to motivate is second to none. Mark’s unique value proposition draws upon the journey he forged on his way to becoming an elite athlete and a personal mission to invest in the betterment of himself and those around him. Mark embodies the values which he instructs – humility, physical and mental acuity, and discipline, all of which are paramount to fulfilling both athletic and human potential. I have the upmost confidence that an investment in Mark on behalf of an individual or organization will be a transformative experience that will unlock tremendous value and far exceed expectations."

"Over 10 years, Mark Glicini influences both the physical and mental aspect of sports for me. At fifteen, Mark taught me how to train, not just for the sake of working out, but for growth. He is continually searching for better ways to grow and to help others. When it comes to physical and mental training, Mark has been a resource like no other that I continue to use to this day. He has helped me develop and cultivate a mindset that allows me to get the most out of myself day in and day out, in training and in life. Ten years ago he taught me the vision it takes to set big goals and the focus and self-discipline. Last week, he helped me find the right mindset to complete my first double marathon. I know that I will continue to rely on him for guidance along this physical and mental journey."

"I cannot attest to this enough; without Mark, I would not even be close to the person and player I am today. Mark has guided me to strive to be the best at whatever I put my mind to. He taught me the value of training the mind and getting the most out of all my workouts, even when I feel like I have nothing left because the mind is always what quits first. He is an exceptional human being who is the best mental and strength coach I have ever seen and ever had, but most importantly, he is the greatest leader I have ever been around. His dedication to his craft is unmatched, and there is nothing he wouldn’t do to excel even further in it. His energy is infectious, and his knowledge is second to none.He embodies who and what I want to be as a man. His care for his friends and the individuals around him shows why he is so exceptional at what he does. He is someone who anyone would want to give 110% for. He has so much to offer, and even if you spend 1 hour with him, your mindset will change, and you will have a better understanding of how to focus on a goal and achieve it; all you have to do is say, “Tell me more…"
