Mark Siwik

Mark Siwik is co-founder and executive director of BeLikeCoach, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the teaching and development of youth through sports.  BeLikeCoach was formed when Siwik and a team of experts on teaching and human development in schools, sports, and business came together to determine whether a 1974-75 research study on Wooden’s coaching methods could be used in youth sports. As the project unfolded, the team discovered Jim Huntzinger's article “The Root of Lean - TWI: The Origin of Kaizen” and noticed startling similarities between the TWI methodology and Wooden's teaching methods.

Siwik’s law and business career includes a federal clerkship, partnership at a leading Ohio law firm, and recognition for outstanding leadership at the national, state, and local levels. His business career includes working with senior management on a variety of risk management issues and complex litigation. He also has worked with the Vorkell Group, a consulting firm that works with the legal and medical professions on management issues including strategic planning, leadership, practice group management, emotional intelligence, partner compensation, associate development, mentoring and occupational stress.
