The Road to “The Show”--3 Pro Baseball Players Journey to MLB | Ep. 52 Todd Durkin IMPACT Show

Spring Training is about to begin and the baseball season is right around the corner. The last 15-weeks, I’ve been in the weight-room grinding and preparing 8 current MLB and minor-league players for their upcoming 2020 season. Baseball is a sport built on endurance, mindset...and failure. 
Yes, failure. Pro baseball is a long season that requires mental toughness, incredible endurance, massive consistency, good health, and keeping your mind right. In this episode, pro baseball players Stephen Gonsalves (3rd round), Brady Aiken (1st round/1st overall pick), and Daniel Camarena (20th round) share their journey, the mindset needed to succeed in baseball, tips for young athletes today, what they do daily to keep their minds right, and what drives them to be in the “Bigs.” 
Listen to this episode and you’ll have a seat in the dugout with these 3 young men on the reality of what the road to “the Show” really looks like. I believe you will glean great motivation, wisdom, and insight to how some extremely high-performers think, prepare, and ultimately perform, regardless if you’re in the “bigs” or still in the “minors” dreaming to get to the next level.
