As the head baseball coach at West Virginia University for the past 12 years, we transformed a program that once teetered on the brink of elimination into a consistently competitive, top‑25 baseball program in the nation. We didn’t achieve that turnaround because we had better bats or balls than our opponents; we achieved it because we built a distinctly different culture, adopted a clear philosophy, and cultivated a stronger work ethic than the teams we faced. I would love to share with businesses, corporations, and other teams the step‑by‑step approach we used and the exact formula for success I’ve refined through my PELT system (Positivity, Effort, Leadership, and Teamwork). It truly can work for anyone — Coach Maze
After 35 years as a successful college baseball coach, I decided to retire after the 2024 season to pursue a career in motivational speaking and leadership training. I have coached thousands of kids over the course of my baseball career and I want to continue coaching, but now I want to coach and motivate the adults on how to coach other people.
Coach Mazey delivered an impactful and inspiring talk on leadership to our supervisors. His ability to relate real life experiences with leadership principles left a lasting impression on our team, all while equipping us with valuable tools to lead more effectively - Tim
I have had the honor of watching Coach Mazey develop the WVU Baseball program for many years. Watching him transition into leadership development speaking engagements is an even bigger win for anyone able to attend one of his talks. His personal story with his son Wammer is one of a kind, and is motivating enough to make anyone feel like they can run through a brick wall. Coach Mazey can make anyone in the room feel like they can and will overcome any type of adversity they may be facing whether it be personal or professional. Coach Mazey’s speaking skills are an absolute home run - Maleah
Coach Mazey has the keen ability to connect with each person in the audience - regardless of where they are on their personal or professional journey. He’s humble, authentic, and he’s the master of practicing what he preaches. As someone who has a very short attention span, I find myself staying 100% focused on his message when he speaks. Coach Mazey’s expertise in team building, leadership, and performance are a perfect match for what audiences want and need to hear! - Lauraaura
