A Night with Mark Hendrickson

Mount Vernon Bulldog legend and dual-sport professional athlete Mark Hendrickson is returning to Mount Vernon for a one-night-only speaking engagement at the historic Lincoln Theatre on Thursday, August 21 at 6:00 PM. This exclusive, 60-minute event promises unforgettable stories, rare insights, and motivational takeaways from one of only 13 athletes in history to play in both Major League Baseball and the NBA. Drawing from a lifetime of elite experience, Hendrickson shares the lifestyle habits, mindset, and physical preparation that shaped his career - the same three-pillar framework he now uses to help young athletes level up their game on and off the field as a high-performance coach.

From earning four State championships in basketball and baseball at Mount Vernon High School to competing at the highest levels of professional sports, Hendrickson’s journey is a powerful testament to discipline, mental strength, and resilience. Attendees will get a front-row seat to the lessons learned on the court, the field, and in life - along with behind-the-scenes stories from his time in both leagues.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for athletes, coaches, families, and fans across all levels of sport to hear directly from one of the Pacific Northwest’s most accomplished and versatile athletes. Centered on the mental side of high-level performance, this talk offers powerful value for youth athletes - from focused young players to high school and college-bound athletes determined to take their game to the next level.
