Persistence is Power w/Ryan Sherriff

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Sherriff joins the program to talk about pitching in the 2020 World Series, MLB's COVID season, and his journey to the big leagues. Ryan is a fellow Tommy John surgery survivor, and we talk a little bit about coming back from a major surgery and what it takes to stay healthy over the long haul. Ryan has one of the best two seam fastballs in baseball, and he shares his mindset for getting big league hitters out!  This is a great listen for parents and players because Ryan's road to the show hasn't been smooth.

Miami, Maine & MiLB w/Nick Silva

Nick Silva joins the show to talk about his journey to professional baseball and the benefits of being a "late bloomer", establishing a routine as a starter/reliever, and what it's really like playing Minor League Baseball in Arizona in the summer.  Nick was a college teammate of mine at the University of Maine, and we talk about him making the transition from playing baseball from hot to cold weather! Nick also shares some amazing stories from 2009, when his uncle Alex Rodriguez won the World Series with the Yankees.  It's always great to talk with friends, and I think you'll love this interview with Nick and see behind the scenes of what it takes to become a pro!
