Hollister, CA · San Benito County
Mental performance coach
for youth baseball and softball in Hollister.
This is home. I coach youth ball here and I work with Hollister athletes on the part of the game nobody trains: the ten seconds after the mistake, the nerves before the first pitch, the confidence that has to survive a slump.
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 Hollister
Private sessions happen in person here in town, at a field or a cage. I send the spot when you book. Team sessions happen at your practice. If your schedule is packed, sessions work on video too.
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.
