About Bubba.
At nineteen, my life ended on an operating table.
A near-death experience and a life review showed me the painful truth: I had died full of regret. Regret for the opportunities I’d missed, the wounds I never healed, the fear I let control me.
When I was given a second chance, I knew I faced a choice, either start living in alignment with my purpose or keep running from it, only to face death the same way again: addicted, disconnected, and unfulfilled.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
As a former Division I baseball player, I had discipline and drive—but after a near-death experience, I realized talent wasn’t enough. To live differently, I had to become different.
I confronted the end of my career, my addictions, fears, and trauma. I sold everything, moved into my Mazda, and gave myself the space to face myself. In that season of solitude—writing, training, and doing deep inner work—I lost 80 pounds, wrote my first book, spoke to college and pro programs nationwide, and co-founded Martin Pitching Performance with my best friend, Reeves Martin.
I kept hearing the same things:
“I was depressed.” “I couldn’t stop scrolling.” “I lost my drive.”
The research confirmed it. People were as addicted, distracted, and disconnected as I had been. They were drifting. And they needed a way back.
The answer?
The same thing that saved my life: flow state.
Most mental performance coaches only look at the “performer”… the athlete, the creator, or the entrepreneur.
I go deeper.
I work with the human behind the performer.
Because performance doesn’t flow from technique alone—it flows from the state of the human being.
I didn’t learn this perspective in a classroom.
I learned it through miles run on the road, words written in journals, mistakes made, and
breakthroughs earned the hard way.
