Tech firm hires World Series winner for mental conditioning role

ReliaQuest, one of the largest, and fastest-growing, tech and cybersecurity companies in the region, is taking a swing at becoming an even better firm —at least on the mental side of business.  

The Tampa-based firm is doing that with Derin McMains, a former professional baseball player and mental performance coach for several big-league teams. McMains, whose psychological theories and applied mental skills practices helped the San Francisco Giants win three World Series titles in five years, was recently named director of mental conditioning at ReliaQuest.
