Professional Experience & Background

The Creation of The HypnoSeries

Through his years working with elite-level pitchers and hitters, Chad recognized a critical missing piece in most training programs— mental execution. Mechanics alone weren’t enough. The best athletes had an edge beyond their physical skill set: a trained mind that allowed them to command the game effortlessly.

This realization led to the development of The HypnoSeries, three groundbreaking mental training systems designed to make command, confidence, and consistency automatic.

  • HypnoThrowing trains pitchers to see the target earlier, control adrenaline, and execute without hesitation.

  • HypnoHitting rewires the brain for elite-level pitch recognition, focus, and natural confidence in the box.

  • HypnoPitching works to give you all the necessary tools needed on the mound to compete.

All systems combine visualization, breath work, Cognitively Engineered Cues (CECues©), and binaural beats to create a neuroscience-backed approach to training the mind for peak performance.

Train Your Mind Like You Train Your Body

Chad’s approach has helped Major League pitchers refine their command, college hitters unlock their full potential, and young athletes build confidence before they even step on the field. His mission is simple: give athletes the tools to train their mind just as intentionally as they train their mechanics.

⚡ Train your mind. Trust your stuff. Command the moment. ⚡
