My role is to help players develop an understanding of the physical game vs the mental game. We will be focusing on the mental aspects of baseball as they relate to the individual. Some of the skills we will look at are breathing, mental imagery, self talk, routines, and goal setting. A player needs to have a mission, play the game one pitch at a time, focus on the process, develop their mental skills, and make commitment to learning. We focus on developing self control, trust, and a pitch to pitch plan. In a game based on failure, the key is to play the game one pitch at a time. Making a commitment to focus on the process rather than the outcome will be critical. While playing the game, the most important pitch is the pitch being thrown. Developing mental toughness is the goal.

This combination allows me the opportunity to work with children in two settings, the indoor and outdoor classrooms. I have been a teacher in California for 13 years. My teaching background has included all age groups from 5-21 years old. I teach physical education and mathematics. Moreover, I have also spent several years working as a mental performance/skills coach working with individuals around the world. As a teacher, I strive to be a positive influence in the lives of my students. As a professional, I am constantly looking for new ways to foster and enhance success. I hold high standards and expectations of myself; as I strive to be a positive influence in the eyes of those with whom I might interact and am dedicated to providing the best possible training. Educating people of various ages and life skills has been the center of each of my opportunities. The key to this has been the ability to speak the language of the environment.People must feel that they are learning things that are relevant to their lives, and thus, I am committed to providing rich, interesting material that an individual can relate to, and an environment that fosters self-discipline and high moral character. I want each individual to grow socially (as a caring and productive citizen) as well as academically.

Over the years I have read many books in an attempt to gain wisdom from others. In this pursuit, I have come upon several quotes from different individuals that I have adopted as my own. I cannot name or give credit to all of them to the correct individuals anymore but here are my favorites:"Sport has the power to change the world...it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers." - Nelson Mandela“Never try to be better than someone else, but never cease trying to be the best you can become.”“You have no control over where you have been, but you have control over where you are going.”“The joy is in the journey not the destination.”“Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.”“What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular.”There is enough success in the world for everyone given the willingness to work for it.“The star of the team is the team.”
