#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…
