The best softball coaches hold the same core belief:
YOU HAVE TO COACH THE WHOLE PERSON
You’re probably nodding your head, but are you actually practicing what you preach? We’ve come a long way as a profession, realizing how important the mental game is and doing our best to preach these concepts to our girls.
But we can do better!
Talking about things like being confident, having good body language and a keeping a positive attitude is a great start. Now we need to do a better job teaching the how.
- How to bounce back from failure
- How to build true confidence that lasts
- How to play your best consistently
That’s our mission here at Mental Sweet Spot. We want to give softball coaches like us the hands-on activities, challenges, drills, and system to build stronger minds every day.
The young women we coach are dealing with a lot of stress, anxiety and depression these days. If we can give them the tools to battle those feelings, the impact will reach well beyond the field.
That’s the softball coach’s dream, right?

Phenomenal information
As a new coach that believes in the mental game being so important, the podcasts and group discussions online have been amazing. Thank you ladies so much! Just knowing that the day to day struggles and doubts are felt by so many others has been remarkably reassuring. Thank you for what you are giving to others in the sport.

5 Star Podcasts!
I love listening to your podcasts while out on a run or on my way to work. They are focused and give me one or two pieces of inspiration to focus on with my team for the week. I have implemented a few key words (like "supportive") and have gotten huge returns from it! Keep up the great work!!

Mental Toughness
As a softball coach and a teacher, I appreciate all of the strategies and advice that Melanie shares each week! She is so inspiring, knowledgeable about the mental game, and willing to help in any way! One tip that really resonates with me is learning how to understand which things in life you are able to control, and what is out of your control. I teach these skills on the field and in the classroom! Thank you for all of the support and encouragement!

I love being part of the Mental Sweet Spot because it helps me think outside of the box to help our team grow mentally. I’ve noticed with the techniques and advice from Melanie and others in her Facebook Group I’ve help my team not only grow mentally but athletically as well. Mental toughness will help your team on the field as well and Melanie’s advice has proven that time and time again.
