#34 - Eli Morse - Systems, Lifestyle Design, & Lessons From College Baseball.

Today’s guest of the podcast is an amazing human being & a Portland Pilot Baseball great, Eli Morse. It has been amazing to see Eli’s growth over the years since coaching him from his 2017 freshmen year, competing for 5 years, and being able to coach alongside him this past 2023 season with the Pilots!

Are you a former teammate, incoming student-athlete, high school baseball player, or someone highly interested in designing your own life? Then this episode is for you!

Eli brings so much to this conversation from lifestyle-centric career planning, being system based in life, and guidance from his playing career. Not going to lie, a lot of shoutouts in this podcast! It is hard to type this out and explain just how cool this experience was to record this episode with him!

If you love this episode it would mean a lot if you could share it with two people who mean a lot to you, rate the podcast, and go check out my weekly newsletter at bryantferate.beehiiv.com
