6. Infield & Mental Toughness ft. Curt Courtwright (Univ. of Illinois)

February 15, 2022 • Best in the US Showcases

What are the ingredients that make up a college-level infielder? What are the essential components of infield play that all infielders need to get good at in order to play at the highest level possible?

More than that, what are the ingredients to mental toughness? Baseball is a game of failure, but life off the baseball diamond has challenges, too. How do you set yourself up for success mentally for the adversity that you’re sure to face inside the lines on the baseball field AND outside the white lines of life?

Curt Courtwright from the University of Illinois joins us on this episode with knowledge bombs both for infield play and for mental toughness on and off the baseball field. His story is incredible (we use that word intentionally) and there is so much we can learn from his perspective no matter what position we play or what we are going through in life.

Tap play and buckle up because Coach Courtwright packs on a punch on this week’s episode both for infielders and for anyone looking to improve their mental toughness in baseball and/or in life.
