2021 World Series Champion Tyler Matzek (IG: @tamatzek , Twitter: @TylerMatzek) and I spent a couple weeks in the Virgin Islands recently and sat down to talk a little bit about his journey. We played together from 2012 to 2016 with the Colorado Rockies. We made our MLB debuts within 2 days of each other in 2014, and the future was bright.
However, the next season he developed the "yips" and was almost completely unable to throw a baseball. He contemplated retiring from the game, but his wife believe in him and felt he had more to give. He began working with a former Navy SEAL and in addition to many other things, changed the way he looked at adversity.
This is a short episode but incredibly inspiring story of determination, grit, and belief!
