Creator of MP²: Mindset Mastery Peak Performance for High School Athletes

Former professional baseball player, Division 1 coach, entrepreneur, and certified mental performance coach with nearly 40 years of experience training athletes—from 8-year -olds to Major League Baseball stars—in both the physical and mental sides of the game.

For the first half of his career, Troy poured everything into the physical. He knew the mental game was what truly separated the great from the elite, but it took time to master it himself. Over the last decade, he’s focused relentlessly on mindset—first in his own life, then in every athlete he coaches.

The result is MP², a proven system built from decades on the field, in the dugout, and in the study of mental performance. Today, Troy brings these hard-earned lessons directly to high school athletes, helping them unlock the focus, resilience, and confidence that turn potential into peak performance.

“Physical ability will take you so far, Mindset Mastery is the last and most important piece that will get you to be a Peak Performer all the time .”

-Troy O’Neal

MP2 Pillars

Confidence

is a learned skill and a Super Power in athletic competition and Life. Confidence is built in the daily grind of repetition and consistency. We provide the structure and framework for Student Athletes to become Supremely Confident and harness this Super Power.

Mindset Mastery

is the deliberate training of an athlete's mental skills to consistently achieve peak performance. It involves cultivating a growth mindset that focuses on the process rather than just outcomes, and equips athletes to manage pressure, bounce back from mistakes, and maintain focus. This mental conditioning is considered the key to unlocking a higher level of athletic ability. Confidence and Mindset Mastery are the goals of MP2 program

Fear of Failure

is the single most common speed bump to success in sports and life. Learning to fail and embrace failure as the key ingredient to success. Process of Product.

Resilience

is bouncing back from difficult situations. The journey we all choose in sports and life has obstacles, unfortunately far too often today parents clear the obstacles for their children so the path is easier and they don’t learn resilience. We prepare the kids for the path, not the path for the kid.

Accountability

is taking ownership of their actions and responsibilities, both good and bad. It involves consistently doing their best, showing up on time,following through on commitments, and avoiding making excuses or blaming others. The world of blaming the officials does not exist at MP2.

Leadership

training in youth sports is crucial for developing important life skills like resilience, communication, and teamwork.

Growth Mindset

is the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication, hard work, and persistence, rather than being fixed at birth. We encourage our athletes to embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and focus on the process of improvement, which leads to greater resilience and mastery.

Small Habits

lead to consistent progress through the power of compounding, build discipline, and make large goals feel less daunting. By starting with small, easy-to-maintain actions, you create momentum, build new neural pathways, and change your self-perception, making success sustainable over time. MP2 players will start each day making their beds.

Because no matter how strong or fast you are, the same old mental blocks will keep sabotaging you until you finally train the mind that controls everything.

It’s mental performance that builds the unbreakable toughness to take over when everyone else is folding.

It’s mental performance that installs the daily habits and routines that turn “good days” into every day.

And it’s mental performance that forges the kind of deep, unshakeable confidence that doesn’t crack when the pressure is suffocating.

If you’re tired of leaving your best performances on the training field…

It’s time to stop hoping the mental side “just shows up” and start training it like the decisive factor it actually is.

Your body is ready.
Now make your mind unstoppable.

What Our Athletes Are Saying

Having Troy on our coaching staff at UD, changed the way our team played and thought about the game. Having the same team one year to the next we went from a bottom of the barrel team and pitching staff to winning the conference and having the best pitching staff in the league. It was incredible the confidence,mental toughness and over all Mindset he instilled in us as a team and individuals and it showed in our results in the end. Thankful for Troy and what he has done to help me reach levels in my game I didn't think were attainable.

Through our work, Troy always emphasized that the mental element of baseball becomes more and more important as the level of competition rises. Later in my career, we spent less time swinging and more time talking about Mindset and Peak Performance techniques. Talking about the game in detail with Troy always gave me extra confidence stepping into the box knowing I was mentally prepared.
