© 2025 The Mindset U Playbook
Description
The Mindset U Playbook isn’t just about baseball; it’s about building a complete athlete and a complete person. Every episode dives into the habits, mental tools, and daily decisions that separate good players from great ones, and great players from great human beings.
Here, we explore the things that rarely make the highlight reel: discipline, mindset, leadership, recovery, focus, confidence, and the character it takes to thrive when the game ends and real life begins.
You’ll hear stories from athletes, coaches, and high performers who’ve learned that success isn’t built on talent alone; it’s built in the quiet hours, in the routines nobody sees, and in the way you handle the challenges life throws your way.
Whether you’re a youth athlete, a parent, a coach, or simply someone chasing your next level, The MindsetU Playbook gives you the game plan to win on the field and in life.
Because what happens off the field shapes everything on it.
