Joe Goodreau returns for his seventh year as the Saint Michael's softball program's mental performance coach with the 2026 season. His primary role is focusing on growth mindset strategies student-athletes need to develop the habits, behaviors and routines needed, on and off the field, to achieve their goals and perform at a high level with an elite mindset.

In addition to being an MPM-certified coach, Goodreau is a certified consultant with the Proctor Gallagher Institute, where he was trained and mentored by Bob Proctor, a world-renowned expert on the mind, human potential and success. He is currently pursuing a bachelor of science degree from Grand Canyon University in performance and sport psychology.
