About Johnny
Johnny Adams is a former Division I and professional baseball player with a passion for athlete development, mental performance, and personal growth. A four-year player and team captain at Boston College, Johnny was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 22nd round of the 2017 MLB Draft. He spent five seasons playing professionally and was recognized as a top-30 prospect in the Mariners’ minor league system.
Following his playing career, Johnny transitioned into coaching within the Mariners organization, serving as an infield and baserunning coach. He worked alongside the organization’s mental performance staff, gaining valuable insight into the mindset, habits, and skills that help athletes perform at their best. In 2026, he joined Northeastern University as Director of Player Development. Johnny also holds a Master of Science in Sport, Performance, and Exercise Psychology from Barry University.
Johnny believes meaningful performance begins with personal development. His approach centers on coaching the person first—helping athletes and high performers build greater self-awareness, confidence, resilience, and purpose in their pursuits.
His passion for this work grew from experiencing firsthand the impact that mindset and performance training can have, both in his own life and among the high performers he’s been fortunate to learn from. He believes the qualities that drive excellence aren’t simply innate; they’re developed through intentional practice, daily habits, and a commitment to continuous growth.
