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, and her brother (my brother-in-law) is a head high school football coach and two-time Arizona Open Division state champion. I guess you could call us the wannabe Harbaugh family lol! Most days you’ll find our family chasing games, practices, and tournaments around the valley.
Baseball taught me discipline, resilience, and ownership — and that’s exactly what I teach the athletes I coach today.
