Working With MCC
A leader in performance coaching, Marilyn Chychota empowers athletes of all ages and abilities to achieve excellence and realize their full potential.
With over 25 years of experience working with athletes at every level—from first-time competitors to elite professionals—Marilyn brings unmatched depth, insight, and care to her coaching. Her approach is shaped by decades spent competing at the highest levels globally, bringing a rare depth of insight to every athlete she works with.
Marilyn believes that great coaching starts with listening. Every athlete is unique, and success lies in understanding each individual’s background, mindset, goals, and challenges. She tailors every program with precision, ensuring that training fits the athlete—not the other way around.
Whether guiding seasoned athletes, mentoring emerging coaches, or helping someone take their first steps into sport, Marilyn brings a rare blend of empathy, experience, and expertise. Her coaching is not just about performance—it’s about transformation, growth, and unlocking what’s truly possible.
“For the past 25 years, I’ve seen athletes use sport to navigate their lives, transforming themselves in ways they never thought possible. Sport has given them the resilience to face adversity and the drive to constantly improve. It’s been incredible to witness these athletes push their limits and redefine what they’re capable of. My passion is to guide others on their own journeys, using sport as the foundation to unlock their potential. No goal is greater than another; what truly matters is the passion and dedication you bring to everything you do”

Testimonials
“Marilyn is a truly caring coach full of knowledge. With her philosophy on life and training program, you will find your hidden potential that will not only help you achieve your athletic goals but also succeed in life. She has gained my trust, and I know that if I follow her plan I will achieve my goals. She has helped me discover who I am, take accountability, and commit to my pursuit of excellence in every aspect of my life. She goes beyond the sport, always exceeding expectations, and I can always count on her being there.” – María Fernanda Díaz
“Today’s note of gratitude is to Marilyn. I had known her for two years before I asked her if she would coach me. I dug her work ethic and drive, her call-it-like-it-is persona/attitude, and her sense of humor. That was nearly ten years ago. She then took a knock-kneed, weak cyclist with a degenenerative hip condition and diabetes and showed the way to steady improvement all the way to world championships. She’s been unwavering in her belief, and I am grateful for that, and so much more.” ~ Eddie Fishman
“As a life-long athlete who just entered my 60's, I am profoundly grateful to have found Marilyn to help me accomplish my goals in this season of life. Her focus, expertise, professionalism, and compassionate coaching has brought me to fitness levels I could not have achieved alone. She coaches world class athletes and I appreciate how seriously she takes me and my goals as an ordinary athlete.” ~Steve Titus
“When I first started I never thought I would ever be an athlete that could toe the line at the World Championships. But over time I started to believe. I believed first because Marilyn believed in me. A huge thank you to Marilyn who saw a triathlete hiding out in a weightlifting room and transformed me from scratch. You just never know how much your life will change when you meet someone and they truly believe in you. That is what Marilyn gives all of us. A vision for who we can be before we have it ourselves.”~ Jennifer Vollmann
