The MPT program is for anyone in rugby who understands that MINDSET is the SOFTWARE that enables strong bodies, the HARDWARE, to operate at peak optimum best and helps create a powerful, collective, mental edge over your competition.
What is covered in these programs?
MINDSET – PERFORMANCE - TEAM
On The Mark Coaching, along with a team of qualified rugby and mindset coaches, have created the MPT Method specifically for players and coaches looking to get the most out of rugby by integrating MENTAL SKILLS into the overall coaching program.
The rugby model looks at three key areas:
MINDSET – underpinned by VALUES
PERFORMANCE – underpinned by BEHAVIOURS
TEAM – underpinned by CULTURE
MINDSET
We take a deep inward look our own beliefs and self-limiting beliefs and how they impacted our performance last & previous seasons. We look at mindset and the relationship that emotions and thoughts have on ones personal performance and the collective teams performance. This programs facilitates and guides you through effective goals and values setting and places you on the right path to success.

TEAM
Mental strength is achieved by focusing on Mental Fitness. The MPT Method looks at highly effective ways to achieve that through the following three options to guide you through the new season and to deliver your best results and in doing so, will elevate the performance of those around you:

The sessions are run online, for an hour on a Wednesday at 6pm Sydney time.
Each group is capped at 25 participants and each one hour session includes a deep dive into a particular mindset topic which is especially created for that session, followed by open discussion (Q&A) which also includes video content and practical tools for participants to use on game day. Each session also includes actions and assessments for participants to complete for the following week. The program is designed for participants to use and apply the mental skills they are being coached on, in the games they play each week.
We understand that life is unpredictable and at time requires flexibility, so where possible, if you miss a session, we will always do our best to help you attend that same session with a different group, or we will do our best to cover the session content with you on a 1-2-1 basis, or a small group basis if there is more than one person that has missed a session.
Mental Skills Approach
This program is for you if you relate to any of the below:
PROBLEM: I can’t seem to get my head in the game
PROBLEM: I get so fired up, when the opposition bait me, I am quick to react
PROBLEM: My team mates frustrate me when they make mistakes
PROBLEM: When I get dropped or subbed off I feel discarded and undervalued
PROBLEM: I get super tense or anxious beofre a game. It impacts my confidence
PROBLEM: I struggle to bounce back after a mistake
If these or any similar challenges impact your confidence or performance, these programs address each of them and provide proven solutions!
SOLUTION: With new found clarity and controlling my thoughts & emotions, I feel far more confident and less anxious before a big game
SOLUTION: My concentration is consistently high, and I am able to perform at my best in high pressure situations
SOLUTION: I am very comfortable in understanding that perfect does not exist, but continuous improvement helps me to lift my game each week
SOLUTION: I am able to deal with disappointing news far better and I can use time on the sideline to focus on bouncing back quickly
SOLUTION: I don’t give anyone permission to trigger an emotional response, and that keeps me in the game
This program takes us on a journey of self discovery and application of new mental skills tools.
We learn how to embrace and harness the power of:
- Self awareness
- Humility
- Developing a dominant presence in a high intensity situation
- Managing & regulating emotion
- Positive visualisation
- Avoiding “choking under pressure”
- Self leadership
- Developing powerful routines that support a winning mindset
- Developing resilience, strong inner dialogue and emotional intelligence

ORGANISATIONS THAT HAVE TRUSTED ON THE MARK AND ITS COACHES
Mark presented to our IRAA players and all players were engaged and intrigued with Marks messages. Mark delivers related content to the players, which triggers many thoughts and actions. Many player were interested in more ongoing discussions with Mark after his presentation.
I recently seeked out help from Coach Zim and wish I had done it earlier. He had given me a completely different approach to change my mindset on and off the field. ZIm doesn’t just tell you what to do and send you on your way. He treats you like family always checking in wnating to know how the advice he gave you went. I try to speak to Zim weekly before my Rugby game. This gives me a relaxing reset to be able to think clearly for my game and even my week ahead.
