Los Olivos ParkBaseball Venue in Phoenix, AZ

With over 7 years of coaching experience and a lifelong passion for the game, I’m proud to offer private baseball lessons focused on sharpening fielding mechanics, improving catching skills, and developing a confident, powerful swing. I currently coach multiple youth teams across elementary, junior high, and high school levels—and I understand how to meet players where they’re at to help them grow both on and off the field. My coaching style is rooted in discipline, confidence, and fun. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to level up their game, I tailor each session to the athlete’s needs and goals.

"Coach whit always knows what to say when I get down

I coach the mental side of baseball. I don’t teach hitting mechanics, pitching grips, or fielding footwork. I work on what most coaches never address: the confidence, focus, composure, and mental routines that determine whether an athlete’s physical ability actually shows up when it matters. I played college baseball at Hawaii Pacific University and Grand Canyon University and spent time in professional baseball environments including independent league camps and spring training. I know what it feels like to step into the box with pressure on, to deal with a bad at-bat carrying into the next one, and to play a role that demands mental toughness nobody taught me how to build. I had to figure most of it out on my own. Now I help baseball players at every level develop the mental skills I wish I had been taught. I am a Certified Mental Performance Coach through Brian Cain’s Mental Performance Mastery program and a Certified Life and Success Coach through Jay Shetty’s program. I also hold certifications and training in meditation, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and somatic coaching (body-based awareness and nervous system regulation). Most baseball coaches will tell a player to “shake it off” or “be more confident” but never explain what that actually means or how to do it. I do. I give baseball players specific, practical tools they can use before, during, and after games to compete with more clarity, confidence, and control.

"Mike is an excellent coach who keeps me motivated and focused on my goals. He guides me with insightful questions whenever I am not sure of what to do or how to do it. Mike helps me stay on track and avoid procrastination. I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking improvement.
