072: A Story of Hard Work & Focus - Swimmer Turned MLB Rookie Seth Beer

Today's "mini" episode is a bit different. Diana tells a story that touched her heart--the story of Arizona Diamondback's Rookie Seth Beer, and how his aspirations of swimming in the Olympics changed over time to dreams of playing in the MLB.

Thanks to No Crying in Baseball podcast for introducing us to Seth Beer and his incredible journey! You can check out the NCIB episode here.

Seth Beer perfectly personifies how hard work and determination can help you attain your goals, and his parents are great examples of sports parents who knew how to support their child's goals and "fan the flames."

Hopefully you enjoy Seth's story as much as we do!
