The Bryant Ferate Podcast

#82 - Nick Brink - Pilots In Professional Baseball: Elevating Your Confidence & Mentality.

Nick Brink jumps on the podcast to dive into his journey from the University of Portland to being drafted into pro ball with the Miami Marlins. Brink’s story is incredible, and I am grateful that I got to play a small part in coaching him his entire college career. 
Brink’s senior year was highlighted not only by being drafted but also by being named 2nd All-American, a 10-4 record with a 3.63 ERA, 130 strikeouts in 99.2 innings, and most team wins in a Pilot season.
If you love this episode, make sure you reach out to Brink and me. We would love to hear what you connect with and why! Keep stacking those daily deposits and making every day the best day the of the year, until tomorrow…

#81 - Sam Stuhr - From Portland To Pro Ball. Guiding The Game, Learning From Failure, & Building Confidence.

Sam Stuhr joins the podcast to discuss his journey from college baseball to being drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 5th round of the 2024 MLB Draft. Sam just finished his first year of professional baseball and is ramping up to report to his first Spring Training in February. Man, his story is so sick. I am pumped for you to check out this conversation!
I am super grateful for the opportunity to coach and work with Sam this past year during his time with the Portland Pilots Baseball team. I loved this conversation because so many times in coaching we don’t get these bigger blocks of time to dive into different things we are curious about. Also to learn more about Sam’s story from Junior College to Oregon State, and then deciding to make the move and pitch for the Portland Pilots.
If you loved this episode, make sure you hit up Sam and I to let us know what you enjoyed most.

#80 - Deryk Jones Jr. - The Dream Is The Journey: Resilience, Reflection, & Results.

Portland Pilots Men’s Soccer Alum and most recent Cal State Northridge Matador Deryk Jones Jr jumps on the podcast today!
DJ is one of the most resilient people I have ever met. If that doesn’t grab your attention enough, check this out! In this podcast, we dive into his journey battling back from 2 ACL knee surgeries, always curious, and seeing the results of all that work in his final collegiate season at CSUN. DJ was named Second Team All-Conference this past season, scoring 4 goals and having 3 assists in 12 matches.
I loved this conversation because it was incredible to hear DJ reflect on the past few years and who he wants to become. He has taught me so much during his 4 years at the University of Portland and for you to learn from him too!
