Get to know Caitlin
Train your mind like you train your game.
CMPC with a PhD and 8 seasons in pro and college baseball. I help athletes build confidence, focus under pressure, and bounce back from mistakes with simple, practical tools. Every athlete, every level.
How I can help you improve
Every athlete has moments when their mind gets in the way, like a bad game that lingers, nerves before a big competition, or losing focus after a mistake. I help athletes build simple, practical tools to handle those moments, including:
- Building confidence that holds up under pressure
- Staying focused and present during competition
- Bouncing back quickly from mistakes
- Creating pre-game and in-game routines
- Managing nerves and frustration
- Staying motivated through injuries and setbacks
A typical training session
Our first session is all about getting to know you: your sport, your goals, and what’s going well and what’s getting in the way. From there, each session usually includes a quick check-in on recent practices and games, focused work on one mental skill, and time to practice it so it feels natural. You’ll leave every session with a simple plan to use before our next meeting. Sessions are relaxed, supportive, and built around what you need most.

Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was a pitching coach I worked alongside in professional baseball. He pushed players to get better through challenge and respect, while always relating to them as people first. He had a gift for seeing the bigger picture and knowing what an athlete needed, even when the athlete couldn’t see it yet. Above all, he kept the focus on getting better without making a problem bigger than it needed to be. That balance of challenge, care, and perspective is something I bring into every session with my athletes.
What athletes & parents should know
I truly care about the athletes I work with, on and off the field. I’m a good listener, I’ll always be honest with you, and I’ll meet you where you are. Parents are welcome to be part of the process, and I’m happy to keep you in the loop on goals and progress while respecting your athlete’s privacy. Mental performance coaching focuses on building skills for sport and performance; it isn’t therapy, and if something comes up that’s outside my scope, I’ll help connect your family with the right support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
