Meet Coach Mike
I’m Mike Budak, former Division I third baseman at the University of Louisville and a Certified Mental Performance Coach.
I help youth baseball players become unstoppable on the field, in the classroom, and in life by combining mindset, mechanics, and accountability into a simple, repeatable system.
I live in Tempe, AZ with my wife and four kids. My wife is a former All-American college basketball player and coach. Most days you’ll find our family chasing practices and games around the valley.
Baseball taught me discipline, resilience, and accountability, and that’s exactly what I teach the athletes I coach today.
