Being an athlete today is hard. Talent isn't enough. I know because I’ve been there—fighting through failure, struggling with mindset, and ultimately walking away, despite the talent.
That’s exactly why I coach mindset and mental skills for baseball players who want more. It’s about more than just playing well—it’s about optimizing habits, leveling up your confidence, and building the grit to thrive both on and off the field.
Backed by neuroscience and combining the grit of sports with the precision of executive coaching, I’m bringing real, hard-earned lessons to athletes like you. Together, we’ll crush performance anxiety, build mental toughness and hit peak focus.
My style? It’s raw, real and gritty. No fluff—just straight-up truth with a dose of fun to keep it fresh.
At Next Season, we process the past, perform in the present and prepare for the future…whatever is NEXT.

You might have talent—but talent won’t save you if you're making these mistakes.
You need to know what coaches and scouts are really looking for. Baseball is a game of details. And if you're missing these ones, you’re in trouble.
In this episode, I break down 4 red flags that coaches and scouts hate seeing from players. These aren't the obvious ones. These are the small habits and behaviors that quietly scream, “Not ready.”
🚩 Phones & Earbuds During Warmups
🚩 Over-Reliance on Mom & Dad
🚩 Drip Without a Grip
🚩 False Coachability (Knowing But Not Applying)
PLUS why they matter from a brain-science 🧠 perspective, and what you can do about it.
If you’re serious about getting recruited, earning playing time and becoming a complete player, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip.
