Book Private Mental-performance Lessons with Coach Troy

After finishing my playing career at Colorado State University and winning three national championships, I began my coaching career immediately. I have coached at the high school, collegiate and professional level and have over 20 years of coaching experience. I also obtained a Masters from the University of Northern Colorado in Special Education and a Masters from the University of Missouri in Psychology of Coaching. I have always coached with an emphasis on the mental side of the game as this is something I have always been passionate about.

I've since been blessed to be able to:

- Head Coach for Colorado State baseball for 6 years.

- Serve as the Noco Owlz professional baseball club's mental performance and pitching coach for the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

- Create and implement a curriculum for multiple teams on their mental conditioning approach and development as a team

- Work with athletes, individually, from various sports and various levels on their mental conditioning

Mental Performance Conditioning is something I have always been passionate about. I work with athletes in all sports at the middle school, high school, college and professional level.

I am very excited about the opportunity to offer this service to athletes looking to improve their Mental Performance. I believe this is the key that allows athletes:

-To be able to play and be successful at the next level

-To consistently perform at a high level

-To be a leader on their team

-To handle failure/challenges better in their sport and in life

-To gain an edge over their competition

I will help you improve your mental performance in training, competition and in every aspect of your life. We will work together to dissect your current thinking patterns, along with your habits to develop small consistent changes in your way of thinking, how you approach failures and challenges and help you develop consistent habits to improve daily in all aspects of your life. I will help you learn how to replace negative thoughts and thinking in order to approach challenges in a healthy way with a growth mindset.

Typical training sessions are 30 minutes in length and consist of building a strong relationship, reviewing current growth and struggles and continuing to build on the foundation of what you are learning.

The best coach I ever had was my college coach. The reason he was the best coach was because he built great relationships with his players and always had an athlete centered approach to his coaching. He focused on helping each athlete grow and improve and focused on the long game of creating a culture of team first and athlete first over winning. By having this approach the wins took care of themselves. He built a relationship with each and every player he coached and was extremely loyal. He is someone I look up to with an enormous amount of respect in the way he not only treated and cared about me, but every athlete that has had the gift of being coached by him.

I always take a growth mindset approach to my training and look to build a relationship with the athletes I work with, first. Knowing that through building a relationship we can have a foundation of trust in order to do the work necessary to be vulnerable in communicating failures, struggles and challenges. I also coach with truth and grace, knowing that the only way to help athletes experience real growth is through being uncomfortable and challenged in their growth and also speaking truth to them when necessary, even when it is hard to hear. I do this in a way of us working together as a team, coming alongside the athlete and doing the hard work together to help them grow.
