Zach Sorensen: Harnessing Mental Strength from the Baseball Diamond to Addiction Recovery

But I'm a firm believer that if you know motivation, it's such a weird thing. But you know if your why is bigger, if you have a big enough, why you'll do it right, and if you're not doing it, then you need to find a bigger why.
Ever wondered how the mindset of a professional athlete can translate into everyday life, especially when battling addiction? In this episode of SOAR, hosts Dustin, Frank, and LT chat with Zach Sorensen, a former Major League Baseball player turned mental performance coach for the Atlanta Braves. Zach’s journey from the baseball field to becoming a mentor in mental resilience is nothing short of inspiring.
He opens up about his battles with self-doubt and fear during his playing days and how he managed to overcome these hurdles to excel both on and off the field. Zach shares practical strategies for developing a growth mindset, using positive self-talk, and building effective routines that can help anyone, not just athletes, in their recovery journey. His insights are not just theoretical; they come from real-life experiences and challenges that many can relate to.
This episode is packed with actionable advice and a powerful message: with the right mental tools, achieving greatness is within reach for everyone. Whether you're struggling with addiction or looking to improve your mental game, Zach's story and tips offer a beacon of hope and practical guidance.
