"Coach Jay and I only worked together briefly, but it was enough to make a difference. He brought a level of purpose that pushed me to be more locked in every time I stepped on the court.

I coach the mental side of baseball. I don’t teach hitting mechanics, pitching grips, or fielding footwork. I work on what most coaches never address: the confidence, focus, composure, and mental routines that determine whether an athlete’s physical ability actually shows up when it matters. I played college baseball at Hawaii Pacific University and Grand Canyon University and spent time in professional baseball environments including independent league camps and spring training. I know what it feels like to step into the box with pressure on, to deal with a bad at-bat carrying into the next one, and to play a role that demands mental toughness nobody taught me how to build. I had to figure most of it out on my own. Now I help baseball players at every level develop the mental skills I wish I had been taught. I am a Certified Mental Performance Coach through Brian Cain’s Mental Performance Mastery program and a Certified Life and Success Coach through Jay Shetty’s program. I also hold certifications and training in meditation, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and somatic coaching (body-based awareness and nervous system regulation). Most baseball coaches will tell a player to “shake it off” or “be more confident” but never explain what that actually means or how to do it. I do. I give baseball players specific, practical tools they can use before, during, and after games to compete with more clarity, confidence, and control.

I will always meet students at the level they are at and help them improve on their struggles and goals.

"When I was completing my degree in Music Education at ASU, I took some private lessons with Jaici. She was a TA for the Horn Studio so I had some lessons with her. Jaici was very knowledgeable and helpful as a teacher. I never felt stressed before going to a lesson with her because I knew she would help me with the things I was struggling with. I enjoyed playing duets and working on advanced playing techniques with her. Now we both work together as music teachers in the same school district! Jaici is a great private lessons teacher and I recommend taking lessons with her.
