My goal as a podcaster is to facilitate conversational episodes where we explore what it means to grow as a better, more successful, and service-oriented human being.
Join me as I sit down with mentors, friends, and inspiring guests—or have one-on-one chats with you, to share stories, insights, and practical steps for navigating life with purpose. Whether it’s faith, leadership, personal growth, or understanding diverse perspectives, this show is a space to dig deep, challenge assumptions, and spark meaningful change.
Let's grow together, one conversation at a time!
Playing at the Highest Level for the Most High | Not Your Average Athlete | Baseball Edition (Feat. Athan Kroll)
Have you ever felt like your identity is tied to what you do?
In this conversation, I sit down with Athan Kroll, a Division I athlete, to discuss how to separate your performance from your identity while competing at the highest level of college sports.
This episode will leave you both informed and inspired. I was reminded that there are athletes like Athan all over the world who are pursuing excellence with humility and a desire to bring glory to God. In Athan's case, a D1 athlete is ultimately serving the one true God.
In this episode, we discuss:
• The meaning behind "Athanasius"
• Why Athan chose baseball
• What makes a great coach
• A behind-the-scenes look at Division I athletics
• Practical ways to stand firm in your identity
• The powerful peace that comes from having a band of brothers
• The best advice for aspiring college athletes
Be sure to share this episode with an athlete you know, especially someone who hopes to compete at the collegiate level.
