TRAIN YOUR BODY LIKE YOU TRAIN YOUR MIND.
This workbook is built for athletes who are serious about maximizing their potential. Talent matters—but focus, habits, and mental discipline are what separate good athletes from great ones.
Each section is structured with purpose. On the left page, you’ll find a high-performance mental training concept used by elite athletes and top programs. On the right page, you’ll apply that concept through targeted reflection, journaling, and action prompts. This is where growth happens—when awareness turns into execution.
Throughout the book, you’ll also find blank journal pages. These are not filler pages. Use them to track your mindset daily, reflect after practices, evaluate performances, or reset after setbacks. Elite athletes don’t leave development to chance—they document it.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
What sets Marc apart is not just his expertise, but his ability to connect. His positive personality makes it easy to build a strong rapport, and he genuinely understands the mindset of athletes across different sports. He has a unique way of bringing out the best in people and pushing them to reach potentials they didn’t even know they had.
To this day I continue to use and reflect on what I’ve learned from Marc and can confidently say that he played a key role in my success.

When my kid was going through a dip in athletic performance, health and overall mood and confidence, there was no one I believed in more than Mess to help him navigate it. These were far more than chats, they were a complete perspective shift and realignment of focus. We saw a difference with each session with Coach Mess and it proved to be exactly what he needed.

“I am continually impressed with JG as a coach and as a friend. He possess the main components that players want to see in leaders. He cares about you, you can trust him, and he will make you better as a player and person. Anyone looking to develop an Elite Mindset should look at the Leadership, coaching, and mentorship of Benchmarked.”

When I was training with JG he opened up my eyes to a whole new world. I was always aware of the Mental Game but the way JG spins it fires me up and makes me want to do more.

I just wanted to share something I've noticed as a parent. My daughter has never been the one we expected to stand out or win scholarships—and that's always been perfectly okay because she simply loves to dance.
I noticed her working through the workbook at home and reviewing it before competition. The difference in her confidence and willingness to fully commit to her performance was incredible. She ended up winning a scholarship, but what stood out to me even more was seeing her genuinely thrive and enjoy herself on stage.
It's clear that she's buying into what you're teaching, and it's making a real difference in her confidence, work ethic, and mindset. As a parent, that's far more meaningful than any award. I just wanted to say thank you.
