Description

Baseball demands a different level of mental precision—patience between plays, pressure in big moments, the emotional whiplash of failure baked into the sport. For coaches, this means one thing: if you aren’t training the mental game, you’re leaving performance to chance.

For more than 40 years, Dr. Alan Goldberg has helped baseball players and coaches overcome slumps, choking, performance blocks, fear, and confidence collapse. His work has shaped thousands of teams, helping athletes perform freely instead of freezing, forcing, or overthinking.

Building on this foundation, Sara Vatore contributes leading-edge expertise in nervous system regulation and somatic performance—helping coaches understand not only their athletes’ stress responses, but also how their own body awareness and nervous system understanding can profoundly influence the athletes they lead. Together, they offer a comprehensive framework for coaching athletes who can think clearly, stay grounded, and compete freely—even when the pressure spikes.

The Baseball Coaches Mental Toughness Package gives you the tools, language, and frameworks to build athletes who can stay focused, composed, and competitive—even in the biggest moments. You’ll learn how to coach the mental side of performance, how to prevent athletes from choking under pressure, how to get parents aligned with you, and how to create a training environment where athletes thrive.

If you want athletes who handle adversity, rebound quickly, trust their preparation, and compete the way they practice, this package is the foundation.

Whether your players struggle with slumps, fear at the plate, inconsistency on the mound, tightening up under pressure, or getting derailed by frustration, this system shows you how to coach the mental game —and bring out the best in every athlete you lead.

What You’ll Learn

Coach the Mental and Physiological Game of Baseball

Build mental toughness and competitive routines into everyday practice
Understand the root causes of slumps, the yips, freezing at the plate, fear on the mound, and other baseball-specific performance breakdowns

Develop Confident, Resilient Ballplayers

Strengthen concentration, composure, and bounce-back ability after errors, strikeouts, or tough innings
Coach players through frustration, perfectionism, and fear of failure without triggering more overthinking
Help hitters and pitchers quickly reset after mistakes and stay mentally in the game

The Bottom Line

The Baseball Coaches Mental Toughness Package gives you the tools, strategies, and communication frameworks to develop athletes who are mentally steady, confident, and competitive—especially in high-pressure moments. You’ll learn how to train focus and resilience, help athletes rebound from mistakes, prevent breakdowns under pressure, and build a team culture rooted in trust, composure, and competitive toughness.

Testimonials

A real breakthrough book for athletes! Having been frustrated using traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches with athletes experiencing freezing, choking or the yips, this book packs in all of the information you need to make a wonderful impact with athletes suffering from these recurrent sports performance issues. I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! I would highly recommend this book and its techniques to all practitioners who work with athletes. You will be thrilled with your results. But that’s not all. The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. They carefully put together treatment strategies that athletes can employ even without a therapist. I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

I just love your new book! Parents on my team were driving me nuts and making me really angry, getting in the way of me doing a decent job of coaching. This book has helped me get things in perspective and to recruit my parents to help me! I feel like I now have a much better understanding of where they’re coming from and how to effectively work with them. Thank you! Thank you! I won’t quit coaching after all!

John B

My coaching staff listened to the audio with me and are all very excited, so excited in fact that we are hosting a workshop for parents. I gave another copy of this audio program directly to a couple of parents. The response was so positive these parents have actually volunteered to participate in helping to run the parent workshop. They listened to the audio programs and consciously put into practice some of your parent guidelines. As a result, not only are they enjoying closer relationships with their children, but the kids are enjoying their sport again!

Tim

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

This is a GREAT tool to use with any sport parents. I had the parents on my team listen to it in one of our meetings and I couldn’t believe the response. It opened their eyes. Doc, you have such a great way of presenting things. Your humor makes parents willing to listen to all the things they’ve been doing wrong and what they need to do to change without getting defensive. Bless you.

Ray B

Dr. G’s program has been a wonderful addition to my coaching. It has helped me train my athletes so that they consistently come through under pressure. The stories and exercises are easy to listen to and powerful and this program has become a regular part of my overall coaching.

Dan Hart

Alan, What I REALLY like about your audio series and workbook is that you take athletes through the exercises and personally teach them how to stay calm under pressure, relax the nights before big competitions and how to use visualization to improve performance. My kids love doing the relaxation exercises although they sometimes chuckle at your extreme Boston accent! Thanks for a great training tool!

Ed

An incredibly helpful book. It helped me make sense of my pitching problems and better yet, get rid of them!

Mike Roberts

Dr. G, I was very impressed with your techniques for learning concentration and focus as well as producing written goals that can be converted into results. Most importantly you developed great systems for brushing off the Uncontrollables. Thank you so much for such a helpful training tool!

Naomi

An eye opening approach to working with athletes. As a former athlete and current coach this book has opened my eyes to outside factors that can truly have a very debilitating effect on the performance of athletes. The challenges of sport require mind and body to be in sync and athletes may experience the ripples of underlying problems coming out in their play that may have no relation to sport, and may not have happened recently. The authors have found a new approach to understanding and treating the most unreachable athletes. I suggest this book for any counselor, coach, teacher, parent and or athlete that may be looking for answers as to “Why?”. It’s all relevant when it comes to life experiences and this book explains why sport is no exception.

I coach AAU ball and I stumbled across your new book (Using Your Head To Play Championship Baseball) this summer. I have to say it is a really helpful tool to teach my kids the mental side of this game. I had all the kids on the team take your mental toughness test and the response was powerful! Almost every player found the worksheets and mental tips easy to understand and use.

Dr. G, Stephen and I worked together a lot last week to digest the materials in the tracks you directed him to. He smoked a ball to the wall in the left-center gap to open his game on Sunday and, although it was followed by another couple of strike-outs, they were very good at-bats in terms of his aggressiveness and timing. He looked like his old self, a whole lot different in terms of his quickness and intensity-of-focus (like he always does in BP). It was a wonderful day for him (even with the Ks), and, at the risk of sounding dramatic, possibly even life-changing. It was most definitely your materials that provided the framework and conceptual approach that led to his finally showing some signs of turning things around!

Mike

Alan, Jake got through tracks 7-11 of your program last night and this morning. He hit a 2 run homer out of the park as part of a go-ahead win tonight. I attached a picture of him holding his home run ball. He’s so happy and immediately asked me to thank you for your help which he’s going to keep using. As a parent seeing the joy on his face is priceless!

John

I have to tell you that your material has been life changing for me. I am the parent of an elite baseball player, and he has been playing on a nationally ranked team for his age. He is a rising 9th grader and although he has experienced great success with this team, he is absolutely miserable and the fun has left the game for him. I haven’t been able to understand his feelings on this, mostly because he himself is confused about them. Your insight into the mental side of this game could not have come to me at a better time! Thank you so much. It just may save my boy from becoming a dropout statistic. I am forever grateful for you words, explanations, and advice.

Dr. G, I couldn’t wait until I finished your baseball package. I wanted to give you feedback on the tracks that I’ve listened to so far! I really only have one word, WOW! I absolutely love it. You word things in such a way that makes it very inviting to sit down and listen to what you have to say. Not only was it educating and training me as a coach, it was highly motivating. I found myself getting very pumped up and excited when I was listening. I like how you give real life examples that we can relate to and put ourselves into those individuals shoes.

Jay

This mental toughness training program is an excellent and extremely useful tool for players at ALL levels! Dr. G has made a significant contribution to slump busting and mental toughness in this game

Collegiate Baseball

Amazing Book! Purchased this book for my husband and once he started reading the book, he couldn’t put it down. He said it was fascinating and so “spot on”. My husband played professional ball and my son is currently at a Div I college playing ball. My husband said that if he knew what this book speaks of back when he played pro ball, he would have had a longer pro career. Every athlete, coach, and parent (especially father) of an athlete will benefit from reading this book
