What My Clients Are Saying
Working with former MLB player Mike Edwards was a great decision. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
He helped me understand the importance of judging my performance and effort instead of only focusing on outcomes all the time.
Using his techniques to get my mind right before games truly helped me play the game more fearlessly, no matter the situation.

High School
Working with Coach Mike before my Junior year was one of the best things for my career I could have done. I was always told I was too smart for my own good by my Coaches and often let the game speed me up.
Coach Mike helped me simplify my thought process and game plan. This helped me slow the game down and was key to having a League MVP and Record-breaking year in my Junior year of high school. For any athlete interested in enhancing their mental game,
I highly recommend working with Coach Mike to give you a serious edge when playing.

Junior College Player
Mike Edwards has been an outstanding asset to Tri-Valley Hockey Academy over the past year. Through both group sessions and individual work, he’s helped our athletes manage the mental demands of elite competition with confidence and focus.
Our players look forward to his visits and have gained valuable tools to strengthen their mindset on and off the ice. We’re grateful for the positive influence he brings to our program.
Tri-Valley Hockey Academy
Chasing 56 has been great for my son. I felt Mike had a genuine connection and deep commitment to Kayden’s personal growth and helped him grow as a player and young man. The coaching was more than just strategies and techniques — it was a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and unlocking my son’s full potential. Chasing 56 has been more than a coaching experience — it has been a partnership that has empowered my son to believe in himself and approach baseball with a positive mindset. I cannot recommend Mike and Chasing 56 enough to anyone looking to elevate their mental game. Thank you for everything!
