I am a retired high school baseball coach with more than 30 years of experience. I had one simple goal: help each player find a way to reach his / her peak performance. To do that I realized that I needed to convince them that their mindset affected their performance. My books bring together my years of sports psychology research and observations to help young athletes understand the role the mental side of the game plays.

My professional life includes rising through the ranks to become a National Sales Manager in the food Industry and eventually an owner of a successful food brokerage business. After selling it and retiring, I traded sales calls and managing for writing, watching as many sporting events as I want and time with my grandkids.
