Lifelong learner & coach

Brian Turnage

Sporting an MBA from Virginia Commonwealth University and an M Ed. from Xavier, Coach Brian Turnage knows the importance of education and training!

“The beauty of mental performance training is how transferable it is… almost everything the athlete learns to assist them in sports will also help them compete in the classroom and in the game of life.”

What Our Athletes Are Saying

Working with Brian has helped me gain confidence in myself by doing the mental routine on the mound that we have created. Brian’s methods have helped me to better handle myself when I am struggling. I am now not overthinking my mechanics on the mound

Division I Baseball Recruit

Coach Turnage has been very beneficial in the development of mental strength for me in the sport of lacrosse. From having a lack of focus to developing a strong mindset on and off the field. This has assisted me in becoming a stronger mentally fit athlete in just a few sessions. Before meeting Coach Turnage, I struggled as an athlete and person worrying about trying not to make mistakes. After receiving guidance from Coach Turnage it has put me back in a place that has allowed me to play like myself again and enjoy the game of lacrosse and now have the mental fitness/toughness it takes to get to the next level

My experience playing for Coach Turnage is one I can only wish every athlete could experience in their playing days. Not only does Coach Turnage have immense knowledge of the sport of baseball and how to coach, he truly cares about all of his players on a personal level. Coach Turnage knew how to get the very most out of me as a player and as a person, while still keeping my love for baseball higher than it has ever been. I consider Coach Turnage to be a close friend, mentor, and a person I can rely on even to this day.

My time playing under Coach Turnage was nothing short of success. Coach Turnage was a fantastic coach who pushed me to excel in my craft, but more importantly, he mentored me about how to grow in life. With his guidance, I matured as a person through his emphasis on leadership qualities, teamwork and cohesion, and relationships. He’s not in the sports business, he’s in the people business and he’s great at what he does.

Anthony Connor, James Madison University

I have coached and worked alongside Brian for the past 3 years in travel and high school baseball. He is first and foremost a great human being who is selfless and puts his players and those around him before himself. He has worked closely with our players on the mental side of being a more capable and competitive athlete. Brian puts those around him at ease and allows them to be themselves without fear of judgement and/or failure. I know Brian will flourish in his passionate pursuit to help young people get the mental edge over the competition.

Andrew Slater, Head Baseball Coach, Collegiate School

Coach Turnage has had a huge impact on my son in his athletic life, but also in everyday life He has helped him find ways to stay focused, has taught him how to stay motivated, and encourages and helps him find ways to reach his goals. CJ respects and values Coach Turnage. As a mom, it is wonderful to see my child have a refreshed sense of himself and what he can accomplish after each session.
