About this episode
In this episode we interview Olympic gold medalist, Canadian baseball great, and current first base coach for the St. Louis Cardinals Stubby Clapp. He takes us through his path in baseball and life and offers his take on becoming a great leader, father, and coach.
What we discuss:
- the importance of knowing your athletes on a personal level
- why Stubby learned Spanish to better connect with his players
- do you raise your kids the same way you coach your players?
- family before flags
- learning how to transition from player to coach
- how to communicate with intent and helping athletes stoke their own passion and fire
- what's the difference between making it and staying in the big leagues vs being a minor leaguer.
- It's ok to make mistakes
