My Journey to Mental Performance Coaching

Growing up, I lived and breathed sports. I played a lot of them, but baseball had my heart. I played through college, helped lead my team to two NAIA World Series appearances, and even played a few years of semi-pro ball.

There were times when I was locked in: confident, consistent, focused, and mentally tough. And there were times when none of that was true.

Looking back, it wasn’t physical talent I lacked, it was the mental side of the game. I didn’t have the tools to stay consistent and focused, manage negative self-talk, handle the emotional highs and lows of competition, or consistently perform at my best when it mattered most.

After baseball, I went into teaching middle school and coaching high school baseball. Whether I was working with athletes on the field or students preparing for an exam or giving their first speech, I kept seeing the same thing. They weren’t falling short because of talent or effort; they were missing mental tools.

That struggle I experienced—the inconsistency, the pressure, and the mental blocks planted a seed that would eventually define my path. I realized this wasn’t just my story. It was everywhere.

That’s what led me to this work. As a Mental Performance Coach, I help others develop the tools I wish I had: an elite mindset, confidence, visualization, self-talk, discipline, focus, and resilience.

Because when you master the mental game, you don’t just perform better, you grow into the person you're capable of becoming.

If you’re ready to close the gap from where you are to where you want to be, I’d be grateful for the opportunity to help you get there. Let’s Go!
