Armando "Mondo" González, who markets himself as Dr. Mondo,[1] is an American mental health and performance coach.[2][3][4] He is the founder of Cheatcode and Cheatcode Foundation.[5]

Biography

González earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from Sacramento State University and holds a doctorate in psychology with a specialization in marriage and family therapy from Alliant International University.[6][1] His interest in sports psychology was initially sparked by the career of Chuck Knoblauch, a former MLB player whose performance notably declined after transferring to the New York Yankees in 1998.[5] This observation, made during González's teenage years in Sacramento, California, influenced his subsequent career path.[5]

Professionally trained as a licensed marriage and family therapist, González later specialized in brainspotting, a psychotherapeutic method he studied under brainspotting founder, Dr. David Grand.[5][7] This technique, based on the concept that eye positions can impact emotional states, has become a central component of his practice, particularly in treating athletes with performance-related anxieties, including the yips.[5]

González's approach often involves addressing underlying psychological issues contributing to performance declines.[5] For example, he worked with Dansby Swanson, a Chicago Cubs shortstop, to address anxieties related to being a high draft pick and subsequent trade experiences.[5][7] González has also worked with various professional athletes, including Lindsey Vonn and Chris Godwin.[7][8] He also holds a tenure with the Tennessee Titans under head coach Mike Vrabel.[5] In the NFL, his work includes addressing performance anxiety issues, such as repeated penalties for false starts.[5] His methodology integrates brainspotting with other therapeutic techniques, customized to the individual needs of each athlete.[5]
