Coached by Someone Who Lived It
My Name Is
Chad Hermansen.
I was a first-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1995 and played parts of six seasons in
Major League Baseball.
And I struggled. Deeply.
Pressure. Expectations. Confidence that disappeared the moment things got hard. I had all the talent in the world — and I spent years getting in my own way.
Nobody taught me how to handle the mental side of the game.
I had to learn it the hard way, long after my career ended.
Today I coach travel ball, high school, and college athletes to build the mental tools I wish I had at their age.
This is practical mental training from someone who played the game, struggled with it, and finally figured it out.
