Michael Locasto

“Mike was one of my favorite strength coaches because of his rare mindset. Mike understands the connection between physical training and the mind and more importantly how they work together to complement each other. Having Mike as an everyday tool for me to use was very beneficial, not only in the weight room and on the field, but more importantly how I started to train my mind to attack everything I did throughout my day. Mike turned my training routine into a lifestyle, which is still influencing me in a very positive way today.”

“Mike Locasto was my AA strength coach with the Diamondbacks. He drove me to work as hard as I possibly could both physically and mentally. Not only did he help me get to where I wanted to be physically, but he is the first person that taught me to have a positive mindset and how important it is to be in a good state of mind to perform at the highest level. On the physical side, he knew that I had goals and got me to meet those goals much faster than I could have without him. Because of his positive outlook on life and tenacious work ethic he made me want to do the work and not take any shortcuts. Mike Locasto is a big reason I was able to live my dream and play in the Major Leagues!”

“There’s certain kind of qualities you look for in a coach. Communication, leadership, discipline, knowledge, and patience. These are just some of the qualities that Mike Locasto exhibits. I’m so glad he was with me in my journey to the big leagues.”

He’s one of the most passionate people I’ve ever worked with. He goes above and beyond for those that show they want to be great!

“I have had the distinct pleasure of being a small part of Michael Locasto’s journey as both a coach and leader. Michael is a true professional. He is bright, articulate, hard-working, driven, passionate and humble. His knowledge of the physical, psychological, technical, and tactical elements of sport preparation are only rivaled by his unquenchable curiosity for knowledge. Despite these accolades, the most impressive feat of all is that he’s an even better person.”

“Mike practices what he preaches. His ability to connect with all kinds of people is leading him down a path of positively impacting anyone he comes in touch with. I personally leave every conversation I have with him more enlightened and further motivated to continue my own mindful practices. Someone I’m honored to call a friend.”
