Coach the mind,
not just the player.
Closer Mentality trains kids and teens on the whole game — mechanics, competing, and the way you talk to yourself after a mistake. Built on ten seasons at the highest level of professional baseball, taught in a way a twelve-year-old can actually use.
Programs
Select a ModalityFirst-Timer Session
A 30-minute first session with Shane — get to know each other, see where the player is, and leave with a clear next step.
Hourly Session
One hour, one-on-one with Shane — mechanics, approach, and the mental side of the game.
3-Pack
Three one-hour sessions to build momentum and keep the work going between them.
5-Pack
Five one-hour sessions for steady, longer-term development.
Three things
every session covers.
- 01
Move Better
Simple, repeatable mechanics — no overhaul, no jargon. Two or three things to work on, and the reason behind each one.
- 02
Compete Better
How to plan an at-bat or an inning, how to read a game, and how to stay aggressive when the moment gets big.
- 03
Think Better
A reset routine for after the mistake. Confidence that doesn't depend on the last result — the closer's mentality.


Instruction forged across six MLB organizations and ten professional seasons.
Player Feedback
From Families & Coaches01"My son had been fighting himself all spring. Shane sent back a breakdown in two days that pointed out one small thing — and gave him a way to talk himself through it. He plays looser now."
02"What stood out was how honest he was. No fluff, no upsell. He told my daughter exactly what to work on and gave her three things she actually enjoys doing."
03"Shane spent a full day with our travel program. He spent as much time on how to handle a bad inning as on mechanics. The kids hung on every word."
04"The mental side is what he really unlocked for me. Learning how to reset after a mistake is the reason I made varsity this year."
