Inside the program
  • Year-long coaching relationship
  • Monthly 1-on-1 calls
  • Personalized development plan
  • Direct year-round access
  • One in-person session included

For a select number of athletes each year, our pros offer a deeper level of mentorship and guidance built around the lessons, experiences, and mindset principles developed over 17 professional seasons.

This is more than a monthly call.

It's an opportunity to build a real relationship with someone who has navigated every level of the game, from youth baseball to the Major Leagues.

Together, you'll develop confidence, routines, leadership, accountability, and the mindset needed to handle the challenges that come with pursuing your goals — both on and off the field.

A Limited Program

Reviewed personally.

Our Pros intentionally work with a small number of athletes each year to ensure every relationship receives the time, attention, and investment it deserves.

Applications are reviewed personally.

This isn't a monthly call. It's a relationship that lasts.

Most coaching ends when the season does. This doesn't. For one year, you have a Pro who already knows your name, your goals, and exactly where you're stuck — because he's been there.

The gap between good and great athletes

Talent gets you noticed. What you do with pressure, setbacks, and doubt is what decides everything after that. Our Pros didn't make it to the Major Leagues because they were the most talented athletes in the room. They made it because someone taught them how to think when things got hard — and now they're doing the same for a small group of athletes each year.
