As a former MLB player and now MLB agent, I know first hand how powerful and important the mental game is to a players success. Baseball is a game of failure and it only becomes more difficult the higher up the ladder you go. Learning the skills it takes to be in your peak mental state is essential if you want to reach your true potential in the game. Jason was a former teammate of mine, and I was witness daily to his knowledge and dedication to this. Jason was always extremely prepared. He was consistently locked in to his routine which reflected with his success on the field. Having a mental edge over your competition is a game changer and something every aspiring ballplayer needs to take serious.

We recently had Jason out to work with my daughter’s basketball team. He did a wonderful job engaging the girls, helping them think outside of the box when facing adversity, and giving them tools to gain mental focus both on and off the court. All the principals Jason shared with the team will hopefully help them excel this season in life and playing ball. Parents that listened in to the workshop mentioned to me that they too learned from Jason. We are appreciative of Jason’s willingness to help our girls grow as individuals. Jason has a huge heart, and I highly recommend him to work with your team or business unit. I think he has much to offer not only athletes, but individuals desiring to take steps towards fulfilling their dreams in life or in their career.

To say that my experiences with Jason have been life changing would be an absolute under statement. About a year ago, I approached a dreaded point in my life in which my father turned terminally ill. I knew this was coming based upon the months leading up to this point, but that does not make this pill any easier to swallow.
I knew Jason from my time as his bat boy and clubbie in his Minor League days and I had often followed his motivational posts regarding “Peak State” and the principles within. When I reached my low point, I reached out to Jason with my situation and where I was at mentally. Jason immediately committed to helping me through this dark time of my life and we began going through the program steps, starting with a questionnaire that really forced me to take a very difficult look at my own life.
From here, we spoke on a weekly basis for 6 months, helping me figure out a number of things, including but not limited to: Figuring out where I’m at in life and where I’d like to be; How my fathers sickness has affected me; where to start and how to get back to my ordinary “self” with day to day performances; envisioning success to find success, and many other concepts.
I can’t express passionately enough how sincerely appreciative I am of the work Jason did with me and I’d strongly recommend him and his passion for helping others to anybody out there who is looking to GET BETTER. Whether it be for your kids who need to learn how to handle the mental aspect of their sport, or if you are finding yourself struggling on a day to day basis for a multitude of reasons, I’m confident that Jason can help get you or your child on the road to success and see to it that such success is met. Thanks for everything, Bottsy. You’re my brother and a true friend!

My son Big Kat is 11 and plays club baseball. He has always been a solid hitter finishing his 10u season in a San Diego tournament with a .802 BA in 7 games. His goal was to hit some homers during the tournament. He has 3 blasts that literally were inches from going over. Well, we just started 11u season last week and Kat hit the ball however; his hits turned into ground outs or liners that were caught. Needless to say, he was in a funk mentally. Knowing that he was competing in his first 11u tournament this past weekend, he knew he needed to change something. He spent some time reading and researching when we discovered the Peak State podcasts. Literally on our drive from Las Vegas to Utah, we listened to Jason talk faking it till you make it; BEAST mode, and making the decision to Sale the Farm. Kat did not speak too much on the ride and at one point, I thought he may have been daydreaming. We literally arrived to the field after 3 hours in the car. I tell him my routine pep talk: play hard, have fun etc. he looks at me and says “Full Focus”. As he warms up, he looks pretty intense. After 30 minutes or so, the game starts, Kat is hitting third. With a runner on third; he hits a hard grounder and gets out. 1 RBI, job done. Next at bat; man on second: takes a pitch, second pitch boom! Into the parking lot the ball went. Next at bat a hard double. Kat finished the game with 4 RBIs and 2runs. Team placed second. Last night; more PEAK State prior to game: Boom! a 3 run homerun! Kat has changed his focus and thanks to Jason’s podcasts, he has redirected his mental preparation which thus far has equaled great results. Great info and guidance from Jason. Within a week, without changing mechanics, just his mindset, he is killing the ball. Thank you.

Understands the mental mindset, daily focus, tools and techniques it takes to live full out!
Mark McAuliffe, Cert. John Maxwell Coach, Teacher and Speaker
Jason is the BEAST of all beasts! I love his perspective on “Beast Mode” principles and it’s obvious he truly lives them out in all that he does. I learn something new from each of our conversations and any time I hear him speak. His mindset knowledge and performance-driven coaching goes beyond baseball. His coaching applies to every aspect in life. If your looking to take your game to another level, Jason is the guy who can take you to your PEAK STATE and reach your goals. Unleash the beast from within!

I often tell my boys Connor (17) and Griffin (14) that baseball is a microcosm for life & what we learn about teamwork, competition and accountability are traits that we will use the rest of our lives.
I am also a firm believer that kids (and adults) can sometimes be their own worst enemy and that self-questioning and doubt can create obstacles to our goals & aspirations.
Jason provides a very unique service in that he helps identify those goals and aspirations, helps recognize obstacles and then develops a path and plan with the athlete to take steps forward.
What is also unique about Jason is that he is very much “question-based” in his teaching – in that he doesn’t just say this has worked for me and other athletes – he LISTENS (rare today) and develops a strategy based on YOUR athlete’s needs.
In an often negative world – Jason provides a fresh perspective with lessons, ideas and improvement assignments delivered in an uplifting and motivational style – that both of my boys have responded to.
I have discussed and recommended Jason to many of our boys teammates parents and without hesitation fully recommend him and his programs as critical piece of your athletes success both on and off the field.

After working with Jason Botts, I’ve seen first hand how important an athlete’s mental game truly is. My daughter, Gabi, definitely has the physical skill but really needed to find a way to believe in herself. Jason has taught her to focus and visualize by creating a mental image of what she wants. As she is working towards these new standards, several things are happening: the doubt is disappearing, the confidence is growing, and the CHAMPION is being exposed. I cannot than him enough for helping her change her mindset!! This is just the beginning!!

Jason has built a quick relationship with our son and has made an impact in just a month on his positive thinking and his belief in himself. We are so happy that we decided to do this.
Karin Morris, Mother (Jackson, 10)
We are so incredibly grateful that we had the opportunity to have Jason Botts work with our son Lane. After spending a few days with him we have seen big changes in his performance and most importantly his confidence. What’s great is that the techniques Jason taught our son will continue to help him not only in baseball but in all sports, school, & life! We highly recommend Jason!
