In this episode of Raising a Ballplayer, host Dr. Jimmy Onate from Do~Mojo Mindset & Performance Coaching sits down with Blake Wood, a certified athletic trainer from the Toronto Blue Jays minor league system to discuss “Service to Others.” From athletic training to mentorship, Blake shares how putting others first builds stronger teams, healthier athletes, and lasting impact beyond the game. Together, we explore what it means to lead with service, why it’s essential in both sports and life, and how young athletes can learn to value the success of others as much as their own. This conversation reminds us that true growth doesn’t happen alone — it’s built through connection, sacrifice, and a commitment to lifting those around us.
