Josh Alger
Josh Alger, a California native and mental game strategist, is the founder of the Alger Method. Josh spent four years as a Division I pitcher at UCLA, and three of those years were defined by surgery rooms as much as mounds. Four procedures in his first three seasons meant he learned, the hard way, how much of recovery happens in the nervous system and not just the body — and he came back to pitch his senior year because he finally understood that.
Today he’s the Director of Player Development for UCLA Baseball, where he builds the programming, recovery planning, and in-game support that keeps a pitching staff performing under pressure for an entire season. Between the field and the classroom, he’s built a unique combination: an athletic eye for performance under pressure, and a researcher’s grounding in why stress affects the body the way it does. A double Bruin, Josh holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Master’s from UCLA’s Transformative Coaching & Leadership program.
