#430: Replay Rate - A World Series MVP Mindset with David Freese

In honor of the 2025 World Series ending in dramatic fashion last night, Ev wanted to bring back his favorite interview of all time. Hometown hero, 2011 World Series MVP, and now golfer... David Freese. David hops aboard the Train to talk about the parallels between being down in the count with 2 strikes and the series on the line and staring down a narrow fairway, the importance of having comfort in discomfort, how he reset when he started playing tentative, the importance of staying calm and aggressive, what Mike Trout and Albert Pujols do different than the rest, and so much more. Launch Monitor for Every Golfer: Ev recently learned something crazy from his sessions with his Rapsodo MLM2Pro. Every first 10 swings are 7-10 yards shorter than once his body is warm. And yet most of us tee off without warming up!
