I’m Wayne Mendezona, better known as Coach Mendo—a collegiate head basketball coach, high-performance leadership coach, motivational speaker, and author with over 30 years of experience developing athletes, leaders, and teams at the highest levels.
My journey began on the basketball court as a professional player and later as a college and international coach, where I learned that sustained success is built on mindset, resilience, discipline, and clarity of purpose—not just talent.
Through coaching thousands of athletes and leaders, I’ve seen firsthand how the principles of elite performance translate far beyond sports.
Today, I work with athletes, executives, entrepreneurs, faith-based organizations, and teams to help them perform under pressure, lead with confidence, overcome adversity, and build a legacy that lasts.
My talks combine real-world leadership lessons, mental toughness strategies, and faith-driven purpose, challenging audiences to raise their standards, take ownership of their growth, and execute with excellence when it matters most.
