In this episode of the Unspoken podcast, hosts Nick and Nick go "behind the mic" to explore the mental game of baseball, the unspoken challenges of fatherhood, and what it truly means to balance high-level performance with daily life. One Nick takes the guest seat to share his personal journey—from building guitars with his dad to navigating the intense pressure to perform in high level baseball and competitive athletics. The discussion provides valuable coaching tips and parenting insights on managing youth sports pressure, fostering a healthy competitive mindset, and the importance of being a present "girl dad". Packed with relatable stories ranging from 80s comedy and blowout poops to the infamous goose incident, this episode dives deep into men’s mental health, overcoming the fear of failure, and embracing the "regular person" reality behind every successful professional.
