Gilroy, CA · Santa Clara County
Mental performance coach
for youth baseball and softball in Gilroy.
Gilroy families put real time into this game: lessons, travel weekends, long drives. I work with Gilroy athletes on the part that decides whether all that practice shows up when it counts.
What we work on
The part nobody trains.
- A reset for the moment after a mistake: the error, the strikeout, the walk
- A pre-game and pre-pitch routine that fits your athlete, in their own words
- Nerves before big games, tryouts and showcases
- Self-talk when it's going badly, and confidence that survives a slump
- Separate work for hitters and pitchers
How it works in Gilroy
Gilroy is about 20 minutes from my home base in Hollister. Private sessions can be in person or on video. Team sessions happen at your practice.
Every athlete I work with gets the Mirror Mindset app while we train, so the reps happen on the days I don't see them. About a minute a day.

Who you'd be working with
Scott Mead.
Sixteen years as a police officer, fourteen years coaching youth ball, and a dad with kids in travel sports right now. I spent a career being trained for the ten seconds after something goes wrong, then watched twelve-year-olds get zero reps at the same thing.
This is mental performance training: practice for the part of the game between pitches, done on their feet, not a talk about feelings.
Also: hitting and defense lessons near Gilroy
Swing work and glove work, one-on-one, with the mental side coached inside the same hour. $80 an hour, or $120 for two athletes. In person in Hollister and the surrounding area.

Yes. Team sessions happen at your practice, and private sessions can meet in person or on video, whichever fits your week.
Can you work with my kid's whole team?
Yes. A team session installs the same reset with the whole roster in one practice, and your coaches get language they can keep using after I leave.

Yes. In-person hitting and defense lessons are in Hollister and the surrounding area, with the mental side coached in the same hour.
