As a lifelong entrepreneur, athlete and coach, Mike Bahun says he is passionate about the student-athlete experience. He’s also on a mission to help other entrepreneurs and startup founders find success in their own careers and industries.
Mike Bahun is now the Director of Player Development and Leadership for Ohio State baseball. In addition to founding the Coaching Matters Foundation, he is the creator and CEO of Fundraising University. A platform called Coaching Matters was created to assist people at every step of their journey—from novices to seasoned pros.
According to Bahun, “Those ask me how I do it all.” “But it doesn’t feel like work when you’re doing something you love.”
Bahun’s companies have generated millions of dollars in revenue while making a difference in the lives of thousands of people. In fact, Fundraising University is America’s fastest-growing fundraising organization.
“Fundraising University currently offers an excellent chance for individuals who possess a strong enthusiasm for sales, athletics, and entrepreneurship, or who are already in business for themselves,” Bahun said. “Since 2009, our company has raised $300 million, has a tested infrastructure, and generates residual revenue. We make a difference in communities, support the student and athlete experience, and have territories available in America’s fastest-growing fundraising company.”
After another successful baseball season with the Buckeyes, Coach Bahun is turning to helping other business leaders reach their goals with a new season of the Coaching Matters Master Class development program, a 12-month coaching series tailored for elite coaches, business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Starting July 15, 2024, the Coaching Matters Master Class, sponsored by Fundraising U, will shift to an exciting on-stage format, delivering an immersive, dynamic, and inspiring experience like never before.

“Mike Bahun is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever been around,” said Ohio State head baseball coach Bill Mosiello. “His dedication, selflessness, and intelligence make him a future success in whatever he attempts. If you look at the success pattern, the people he’s been around, and the growth in every area, then Mike Bahun becomes a no-brainer for any role.”
Coaching Matters Masterclass Hits The Stage in July 2024
Coaching Matters is not just a business venture; it is the culmination of Mike’s passion for coaching and his belief in its profound impact on individuals and communities.
Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Mike’s early exposure to high school sports ignited a passion that would shape his life’s work. From the mentorship and accountability instilled by his coaches to the competitive spirit fostered within team dynamics, Coach Bahun quickly realized the value of coaching in personal and professional development.
Bahun’s need and desire for sports and all the different traits and dynamics it develop led him to put that experience into a model and system that could help people, from beginners to the highest performers in professional sports and entrepreneurship.
Bahun and mental performance coach Brian Cain are excited to begin another season of the Coaching Matters Master Class, a 12-month development program designed for elite coaches, business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs. This exclusive event, proudly sponsored by Fundraising University, is open to participants nationwide and begins on July 15, 2024.
“Participants explore important topics including goal-setting, interpersonal skills, organizational growth, and developing a winning mindset through Coaching Matters,” stated Bahun. “With a curriculum crafted to present master-level challenges, participants are empowered to overcome obstacles and seize opportunities for personal and professional development.”

He is the owner and CEO of Fundraising University, which has helped raise over $300 million in schools and earned top ranks in Entrepreneur magazine. Brian Cain is my mental performance mentor and the world’s leading mental performance coach. He’s a No. 1 best-selling author and creator of Mental Performance Mastery. He’s worked with champions in MMA, such as GSP and Vitor Belfort. If you are a coach, business owner, or leader, you NEED to take this master class. I’m definitely going to register for the training and subscribe to the content. Please be aware that I’ve already committed to the next level if you are one of my clients or are considering working with me.”
Walker, a lifelong student who has learned under Bahun, added, “Make some goals, continue learning, and trust the process.”
Zach Sorensen, a mental sports performance coach with the Atlanta Braves, praised Mike Bahun: “Mike has a presence and a drive that is completely unique, even compared to the athletes I work with at the Major League Baseball level. Mike’s business acumen, entrepreneurial success, and mental game, combined with his experience as a professional baseball player and coach at all levels, have prepared him to be a future head coach. His understanding of relationships with parents and high school coaches makes him an elite recruiter. The combination of his playing experience and his ability to build relationships would be a very unique addition to any program.”
Coaching Matters: Pioneering Leadership Development
Mike Bahun says Coaching Matters offers a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse and supportive community of college coaches, professional athletes, and world-class entrepreneurs. “By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among industry professionals,” he says, “participants gain invaluable insights and forge meaningful connections that propel them toward their goals.”
Cain, the world’s leading mental performance coach, a No. 1 best-selling author, and creator of The Mental Performance, will join Bahun in guiding participants on a transformative journey toward excellence in coaching and leadership.
“I am thrilled to introduce the Coaching Matters Master Class, a culmination of my years of experience in coaching and entrepreneurship,” says Bahun. “This program is designed to equip coaches and entrepreneurs with the tools, strategies, and mindset necessary to excel in their respective industries. Together with Brian Cain, a superstar in mental performance coaching, we aim to inspire and empower a new generation of leaders.”
Over the 12-month duration, participants will benefit from a rich blend of live sessions, virtual workshops, exclusive resources, and personalized coaching to foster holistic growth and development. “This master class represents a unique opportunity for individuals to elevate their game, whether on the field or in the boardroom,” Bahun remarked. “By combining cutting-edge strategies with time-tested principles, we seek to cultivate a community of high performers poised to make a lasting impact.”
Bahun was a collegiate baseball standout who played professionally and later became a highly respected coach and pro scout.
Meanwhile, Cain has a stellar track record of working with top athletes, including four Cy Young Award winners and MLB and NCAA World Series Champions. He’s also a bestselling author, former high school coach, and certified master athletic administrator who teaches others how to “make adversity your advantage.”
Coaching Matters Gets a New Look
The launch of the on-stage series for Coaching Matters signals an exciting new chapter for the organization. Recently, the foundation unveiled a new logo and a redesigned website. Additionally, Coach Bahun has released a free e-book for those interested in exploring his coaching philosophy, which is now available for download.
Coaching Matters will start rolling out fresh motivational content this summer across social media platforms to symbolize the foundation’s commitment to growth, development, and excellence.
Social media posts will include inspirational messages from top athletes and coaches nationwide, authors, media personalities, business owners, entrepreneurs, and mental performance coaches. In addition, Bahun and Cain will add motivational quotes and personal tidbits throughout the week to encourage and empower followers to focus on essential qualities for growth and success, including organizational development, goal setting, people skills, and mindset.
The organization’s vibrant new logo symbolizes Coaching Matters’ unwavering commitment to empowering individuals and teams to reach their full potential.
Through innovative initiatives and strategic partnerships, the organization remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering individuals and teams to achieve greatness.
“I’m thrilled to start the Coaching Matters on-stage series and look forward to bringing fresh insights to people each day across social media platforms,” says Bahun. “There has never been a better time for people to invest in their future, and I will teach those in the class how to scale their business, work less, and get more done in 90 days. This will give them more freedom to spend time with their families and do more things they love.”
It’s time to step into a world of impact and growth with Coaching Matters.
“I think success is when you develop into a version of yourself to where your skills do not transfer just inclusively into certain things,” Coach Bahun said. “You could move into almost any industry or scenario and be just as successful by applying the same principles that got you there because the principles and dynamics are more important than the circumstances. So, I think someone can be defined as successful when they can take their skills and plug them into anything and have an impact.”
