PRIBL Named Mental Performance Coordinator for the Winter Development Program

AGUADILLA, PR - The Puerto Rico Independent Baseball League (PRIBL) is proud to announce the appointment of Orlando Meléndez as the Mental Performance Coordinator for the PRIBL Winter Development Baseball League. This marks the immediate implementation of PRIBL’s Mental Health and Well-Being Program, designed to support players’ mental resilience, focus, and emotional well-being.

Carlos Núñez, president of PRIBL Baseball, emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting that the league aims to provide athletes not only with top-tier baseball training but also with the mental skills necessary to succeed on and off the field. He believes that Orlando Meléndez’s experience will be key in helping players develop the right mindset for competition and personal growth.

Mental toughness and emotional resilience are essential for athletes to perform at their best. Through this program, players will receive guidance on improving focus, building confidence, and managing stress. They will also have access to one-on-one support to develop strategies for handling high-pressure situations, as well as group workshops that address motivation, goal-setting, and overcoming adversity.

As the new Mental Performance Coordinator, Meléndez is excited to contribute to PRIBL’s mission. "I’m thrilled to be part of this program and to work with these talented athletes," he said. "Baseball is as much a mental game as it is physical. My role is to help players develop a strong mindset, stay motivated, and approach challenges with confidence."

With Meléndez leading the way, PRIBL is reinforcing its commitment to the overall development of its players. By integrating mental performance training into the Winter Development League, the organization ensures that athletes are not only prepared for competition but also equipped with the mindset needed for long-term success in their baseball careers. This initiative sets a new standard for player support, emphasizing the importance of mental strength alongside physical ability.
