The things athletes ask before they start.
What is mental performance coaching?
It’s training for the mind the same way you train the body. We work on the thoughts, patterns, and perceptions that shape how you perform — especially under pressure, after a setback, and in the moments that decide outcomes.
Who do you work with?
Individual athletes from high school to the pros, whole teams and their coaches, and organizations looking for a live mindset experience. If you compete — or lead people who do — there’s a fit.
Do I have to be an elite or professional athlete?
No. The work is about closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be, whatever level that is. Dr. M works with athletes from high school through the pros, and with parents seeking support for a young athlete.
How is this different from therapy or sports psychology?
Mental performance coaching is focused on performance — building the mindset, habits, and mental tools to help you compete. Dr. M is a certified mindset coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnotherapist with a doctorate in educational leadership — not a licensed therapist or clinical psychologist — and coaching isn’t a substitute for mental health treatment. If something comes up that calls for clinical support, she’ll help point you in the right direction.
What is the 4M Method?
It’s Dr. M’s signature approach — the Markwongnark Mindset Mastery Methodology. Instead of generic motivation, it’s a personalized process: find what’s holding you back, remove those inner obstacles, rewire the patterns underneath, and move forward with ease.
What does a session actually involve?
Every plan is individualized, so sessions are shaped around you and your goals. What we focus on and how each session runs is mapped out together once we’ve talked through where you are and where you want to be.
Are sessions in person or virtual?
That’s set on your discovery call, based on where you are and what works best for you.
How long until I see results?
It varies by athlete and goal. Mindset change is a practice, not a switch — but most athletes notice a shift in how they respond to pressure and setbacks well before they see it in the scoreboard.
Do you work with whole teams or just individuals?
Both. Team Coaching is built for group work, and 1:1 Coaching is for individual work — many athletes and teams combine the two.
Do you coach parents and athletes together?
Yes — Parent & Player Mindset Coaching is built exactly for that. Dr. M works with the parent and the athlete together, helping you understand each other and unite around one goal: helping the player change their mindset and rise. Pricing is tailored to your family on the discovery call.
How much does it cost?
1:1 coaching packages range from $600 for the Expedition (a single 120-minute session) up to $15,999 for the year-long Transformational Odyssey, with the Journey ($4,999, three months) and the Voyage ($8,999, six months) in between — and the longer the package, the better the rate. New clients start with a $50, 30-minute consultation call. Team and group pricing varies — see the Services page for full details.
How do I get started?
Book a discovery call — the first consultation for new clients is $50 for 30 minutes. You’ll tell Dr. M about your goals, and together you’ll decide on the right path forward.
