Jim Eisenreich was an all-star caliber player for over a decade in the majors. But just two months into his rookie season in 1982 he was taken out of three straight games due to fits of panic and anxiety. Doctors didn’t know what the cause was and Jim was forced to retire when his dream had barely started.

Three years later and after finally having his condition diagnosed as Tourette Syndrome, Jim returned to Major League Baseball. He went on to have an extremely productive career and hit home runs in two different World Series.

Today Jim speaks all over the country to bring awareness to a condition he had unknowingly struggled with since age 6 and is a great example of what we can overcome and how our struggles can be converted into assets.
