Coach John Hodson

My name is Coach Hodson, and I have been a long-time mental performance coach for athletes of all ages and experience levels. I started out coaching baseball, but over time, I realized that my players and coaches needed more from me than just the "X's and O's" of baseball. I began researching what my gut was telling me, and ended up transitioning into the world of Performance Psychology.

Years of research, formal mentoring, and a Master's Degree in Performance Psychology have allowed me to build a 14-year career in mental performance coaching. I have had the opportunity to not only build my own private practice with clients ranging from high school, college, and professional athletes — I have also been part of two Division 1 programs, working with athletes to develop their mental game and grow as well-rounded student-athletes. I have also worked with coaches at multiple levels in leadership development.

I believe that your mental preparation is as important, if not more important, than your physical preparation. If you commit to developing "from the neck up," you are allowing yourself to build "superpowers" that can enable you to unlock your potential and allow you to perform with Confidence, Consistency, and Composure.

I can help athletes develop human performance strategies so that they don't just simply survive, but thrive during their playing careers and beyond. This starts by helping athletes understand who they are and where they want to go.
