The Story of MPGA: 

Unlocking the Mental Game


Every golfer hits a wall. Talent alone isn’t enough. I know—I’ve been there.

I dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour, but my Division 1 scholarship slipped away. I worked harder than ever—hours at the range, grinding in the gym—but I was stuck. The problem wasn’t my swing or my strength. It was the invisible enemy: self-doubt, fear, and pressure.

Sound familiar?

Then, I discovered sport psychology. It was like flipping a switch. I learned to quiet the noise, trust my ability, and thrive under pressure. That breakthrough didn’t just change my game—it changed my life. And it sparked a mission: to help golfers like you unlock the same potential.

I spent 25 years studying how elite athletes perform under pressure, earning a master’s and doctorate in sport psychology. I founded MPGA to give golfers the tools to master their mental game. It’s not about working harder—it’s about working smarter.

Today, MPGA is trusted by LPGA pros, Division 1 programs like Duke University, and golfers at every level. But this isn’t about me—it’s about the junior golfer who stopped choking under pressure and earned a scholarship. It’s about the LPGA player who broke through mental barriers to win her first tournament.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, if you’re ready to turn pressure into performance, MPGA is here to help. Your potential is already there. Let’s unlock it together.

 

The stakes are high. The moment is now. Let’s win the mental game.

“Before I started working with Dr. Mat, I always thought ahead of myself; I consistently thought about results and had a difficult time staying in the moment. Dr. Mat helped me center myself with breathing techniques and self-compassion. I now have the ability to clear my mind and stay present no matter what is at stake.”
