About Shane Schellsmidt

From the classroom and the dugout to the stage, my career has always centered on performance under pressure.

For more than three decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of teaching, coaching, and athlete development, helping individuals perform at their best when it matters most. My journey spans the classroom as an educator, the athletic field as a collegiate head coach, private-sector training facilities, and college and high school campuses.

Today, I bring those experiences to the crowd as a public speaker focused on the mental, emotional, and physical demands of high-level performance.

With over 30 years of experience in instruction and coaching, I specialize in developing athletes by strengthening mental focus, emotional regulation, and physical skill. My background as a Behavior Interventionist and Special Education Teacher shaped my deep understanding of how mindset, emotional control, and resilience directly impact performance. Combined with my years leading collegiate programs, evaluating talent, and training hitters at every level, my work emphasizes a holistic approach, one that prepares individuals not just to perform but to adapt, recover, and thrive in high-pressure environments.

Whether addressing athletes, coaches, educators, or organizations, my mission is to translate proven strategies from the classroom, the field, and elite training environments into practical tools that help people manage pressure, build confidence, and perform with clarity when the spotlight is on.
