Rob Coates is the founder of M7 Elite™, a performance and leadership organization built on the belief that every athlete has the potential to go beyond skills and stats to unlock their true identity as a leader, competitor, and person.

Holding a Master of Science in Management and Leadership, Rob brings a unique blend of academic expertise and real-world coaching experience to the athletes and leaders he serves. Drawing on over two decades in coaching, leadership development, and education, he created the M7 Method™ — a 7-pillar system designed to help athletes and leaders master their mindset, align their purpose, and perform with confidence on and off the field.

Through M7 Elite Baseball, Rob integrates high-level competition with personal development, teaching athletes not just how to win games, but how to develop discipline, resilience, and character that lasts a lifetime. Beyond baseball, M7 Elite™ courses expand into leadership training, personal branding, and personal management — equipping athletes, musicians, and young leaders with the tools to succeed in every area of life.

Rob’s coaching philosophy is rooted in creating a positive, motivating, and structured environment where players and students are challenged to grow while being supported as individuals. His work with athletes, entrepreneurs, and creatives has positioned M7 Elite™ as more than a program — it’s a movement to help the next generation master their mindset and unleash their performance.
