This week on The Baseball Nomad, Coach AB goes deep on what it’s really like to get smashed in the mouth—literally—and claw your way back. Three months, a face full of wires, and one hell of a journey later, I’m still not 100%. But the lessons? They might be the most important I’ve ever learned.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the grind, the pain, and the rehab that tested my patience, toughness, and mindset like nothing else. I’ll break down the science of recovery and resilience (yes, there’s research!), drop a major quote that kept me moving, and share the unexpected wisdom you only get when life hits hard—right in the teeth.

If you’re a player, a parent, or anyone who’s ever been knocked flat, this episode is for you. Tune in for gritty stories, practical advice, and a reminder that sometimes, the real comeback starts when you’re at your lowest.
And hey—my new smile’s not half bad.

When it comes to tournament time, teams need to live in the moment. It’s tempting to dwell on past glories or future possibilities, but the truth is that you can only control what’s happening right now. The USA needs to recognize the moment and stop living in the past, putting the best team out there.

To be successful in the game and in life, it’s all about taking responsibility for our choices and being clear on healthy boundaries. This requires strong focus and discipline to ensure that you’re not getting drawn in a thousand different directions but instead, finding clarity and direction in who or what you are responsible for. By setting firm boundaries and understanding your responsibilities, you will begin to create a clear path that leads to success—in the game and in life.
