The Work didn't start with Coaching
It started with pressure.
Mark Pereira has spent over two decades working in environments where expectation is constant - sport, leadership, performance systems and high-stakes decision-making.
Across these environments, the pattern was consistent:
Performance rarely breaks because people aren’t capable.
It breaks when pressure overrides presence, clarity fragments, and identity is forced to move faster than it can integrate.
That insight became the foundation of Hypa.
A Practice Built Upstream
Â
Mark’s work focuses on identity-level alignment - the place where clarity, presence and decision-making stabilise before performance is asked to carry weight.
Rather than adding tools, tactics or motivation, the work removes noise and restores coherence.
This allows athletes, coaches and leaders to:
- think clearly under pressure
- make grounded decisions
- perform sustainably without force
The work meets people before burnout, breakdown or loss of confidence - while alignment can still be restored cleanly.
How Mark Works
Mark blends structured performance frameworks with deep listening and pattern recognition.
The approach is:
- calm
- deliberate
- relational rather than prescriptive
Sessions are not about pushing change.
They are about creating the conditions where clarity returns and alignment holds under real-world pressure.
This is quiet work.
It holds under stress.
And it scales through people, not noise.

Experience across Sport, Leadership and Performance.
Â
Mark has worked with:
- athletes competing where moments matter
- coaches carrying responsibility for others
- leadership teams navigating pressure, growth and transition
His background spans:
- high-performing corporate and sport environments
- leadership and organisational systems
- identity, mindset and performance alignment work
This range allows Mark to move comfortably between individual, team and system-level dynamics — without collapsing one into the other.
The Role Mark Plays
Mark is not a motivator.
He is not a fixer.
His role is to:
- restore clarity when things feel noisy or misaligned
- help people stabilise identity under expectation
- support leaders and performers to hold presence when it matters
Clients often describe the work as:
- grounding
- clarifying
- quietly transformative
Why Hypa Exists
Â
Hypa exists to shift performance conversations upstream.
To create spaces where:
- alignment precedes execution
- clarity precedes strategy
- presence precedes pressure
The work is selective by design.
Fewer clients.
Higher trust.
Clear outcomes.
Working with Mark
Mark works with a small number of individuals and teams at any one time.
Engagements begin with a clarity conversation - not a sales process, to understand:
-
what you’re navigating
-
where pressure is showing up
-
whether the work is the right fit
