Matt Marcinek
Grappling Coach, Mental Performance Coach and Speaker.
Matt Marcinek is a highly accomplished mental performance coach and motivational speaker with a specialization in both individual and team performance. As a Certified Mental Performance Mastery Coach under Brian Cain, Matt combines extensive education with practical, attainable solutions for each athlete that he works with. He earned a master’s degree in Educational, School & Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in coaching from the University of Missouri
While I do have a masters in psychology, I’m not just another cookie cutter coach with a graduate degree who spouts stuff from a book back to his clients, I am an athlete who knows the pain of wanting nothing more than to compete at the highest level but failing and having to push through and persevering to achieve what he wants. I know what it feels like to lose and feel inadequate. I know what it’s like to sit at the edge of my bed, tears rolling down my face, self-doubt filling my mind.
After 10 years of competitive grappling, with a record of 0-79, I was yet to win a single match until May 13th, 2011 when I finally tasted my first victory. I still wake up every morning with that underdog mentality; that I’m in a fight to prove to myself and to others that I know the vision that I have for myself as an athlete and as a business owner is not only possible, but that it is probable.
I’m extremely passionate about my role as a coach and helping my athletes push through adversities and smash any limiting beliefs.

Lucas LaRue
USKA 170 lbs Champion
I’ve known Matt as a friend, training partner, and jiu-jitsu coach since I started training at Scranton MMA a little less than 3 years ago. I had a limited idea of what type of work Matt did but from the first session with him, I knew that it would help me reach my goal of winning the USKA 170lb Amateur Muay Thai title. As a fighter, there’s many mental obstacles and hurdles that you must navigate through. Working with Matt allowed me to identify the things that were negatively affecting my ability to maximize my training and mental state so that I could truly perform at my best on fight night. The best part about working with Matt is he genuinely cares about your well-being as an athlete and a person along with the clarity and focus that I build and maintain throughout the process. The ultimate result from my first experience working with Matt was a win in dominating fashion and leaving the event with the belt. I can’t thank Matt enough for helping me continue to realize my full potential as a competitor and man and would recommend working with him to anyone trying to reach their full athlete potential.
