What has Eric Cressey NOT accomplished in his career?

He’s the President of Cressey Sports Performance, and the Director of Player Health and Performance for THE New York Yankees.

And of course he’s a published author, internationally renowned speaker, and the host of the Elite Baseball Development podcast.

But perhaps most importantly to me, Eric is someone that I’ve grown up in this industry alongside, and I couldn’t be happier to see his success – and to have him back on the podcast this week!

In this episode, I really wanted to hone in on the journey of a coach, and highlight the ups and downs we all go through in our career.

And while we do talk some X’s and O’s training at the end, I think you’re going to love hearing what really makes Eric Cressey tick, and what’s turned him into the coach he is today.

Let’s do this!

You’ve got to prove value – we trained pro guys for free for a couple years before we ever thought about charging them… That was a really transformative time when we realized people were relocating just to train with us. – Eric Cressey
