Morgan Hill, CA · Santa Clara County

Mental performance coach
for youth baseball and softball in Morgan Hill.

Morgan Hill has a lot of good young ballplayers and a lot of pressure on them. I work with athletes here on what happens between pitches: the reset, the self-talk, and the nerves that show up when it matters.

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 Morgan Hill

Morgan Hill is about 30 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 Morgan Hill

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.

Questions

What parents ask.

Do you work with Morgan Hill travel teams?

Yes. A team session comes to your practice, and the team package covers preseason, midseason and playoffs so it sticks all year.

Can sessions be on video?

Yes. Private sessions work on video anywhere, and the homework between sessions happens in the app.

What ages do you work with?

Mostly 8 to 18, youth through high school. The tools are the same; the words change with the age.

Also working with athletes in Hollister, Gilroy, San Jose, Salinas, and anywhere on video.
