Our first guest is Andrew Rohrbach, a former professional baseball player who was drafted in the 9th round by the Colorado Rockies and knows firsthand what it takes—mentally and physically—to compete at the highest level. After stepping away from the game, Andrew earned his Master’s degree in Sport Psychology from Long Beach State, where he worked with Division I athletes across multiple sports and saw just how powerful mental performance can be.

Today, Andrew is the founder of Motive Mental Performance, where he helps athletes and teams build confidence, manage pressure, and stay grounded in high-stakes moments. Drawing from both lived experience and applied psychology, his work is especially focused on athlete identity and navigating life transitions beyond sport. His approach is practical, athlete-centered, and rooted in simple tools athletes can actually use in competition—helping athletes perform at their best while also feeling confident in who they are off the field.
