Brian Anderson has done a lot of incredible things in the baseball world, both as a player and as a coach. He and I discuss his major stops along the way, including winning the World Series, and all the stories that came with it.
Top quotes:
"I don't really tell them what to do, like 'you should do this' or 'do that because I did it' or 'that's how they do it up here.' I really try to protect them from the things that don't work."
"Trust the process, trust your preparation, put in the work now. But when we play, have a plan, but go play. Don't practice in the game...I struggled with that at the big league level."
"I have yet to see a guy who's good at baseball that goes about his business the right way where the results aren't, if not great, really good."
