Jacob Hobson has quite the story on how he became a Bullpen Catcher for the Kansas City Royals. And that's why I love doing this podcast, as you have an opportunity to find out the 'story behind the story' if you will.

From a call from his dad to a staff member at Cal State Fullerton, to now helping at the Arizona facility for the Royals as he helps the pitchers who are rehabbing and getting back to playing shape, Jacob has quite the journey as a bullpen catcher.

We'll get to learn about what that position even is. To be honest, before I spoke with him, I literally didn't even realize that was an actual position. I assumed other catchers just simply helped out in the bullpen but there is actually an opportunity with that particular position and it's amazing to see where it's taken him.

In our episode we'll not only learn about the ins and outs of the position, but we'll hear of some of the cool experiences Jacob has had since doing this. Where he's played at, what players he's worked alongside and helped out, and much much more.

And hey, if you'd like to follow Jacob in his journey (as well as take him up on some of his catching coaching) make sure you are following him:

I've aways been drawn to Jason Burton's energy and passion with what he does. As the head coach, he's great at developing culture within a program. You cannot question the fact that his players will go to battle for him!

This interview is an inside look at Coach Burton's career and we learn about leadership, culture building, perseverance, and the life lessons that sports will teach you.

We also talk in depth about Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression. This is an amazing resource for those who battle with their mental health. From the website:

"China McCarney started the foundation Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression because he deals with Anxiety on a daily basis and felt the need and desire to “Be The Change” instead of waiting for a change. China resisted and fought his anxiety disorder for 5 years before he finally decided to attack it head on. He discovered that the second he embraced Anxiety as just being a part of who he was, just like all of his other attributes, it no longer had the severe crippling effect that it had in the past. As he began to study Anxiety and Depression he realized what a stigma the mental health issues had. That stigma is a huge part of the problem. People feel they have to be embarrassed because they are dealing with one or more of these issues and they hide and hold on to it as tightly as they possibly can."

If you'd like to learn more about this foundation, you can find out more by visiting the website: https://aaadfoundation.org/

You can also follow them on social media at: https://www.instagram.com/aaadfoundation/

If you enjoy learning about leadership, athletics, mental health, and perseverance, this isn't one you're going to want to miss!

Jason is a great guest and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from him!

Tony Jimenez is a former boxer himself and understands how deeply rooted the sport of boxing is here in the state of Idaho. He spent many years training as well, so now he's teamed up with his brother and other family members, to start Slim Promotions and help bring professional boxing back to the Treasure Valley!

It's been years since professional boxing has been here in Idaho, but now that it's making a return, you're going to want to tune in and listen to this one!

Listen to the details of this first card early in 2025 and see how you can either attend or how you can be part of this one.

As a former boxer and a major fan of the sport, it's exciting for me to bring on Tony with his knowledge of the sport and his dedication to it.

For the general fan base out there, this one is a great one to understand the difference between the boxing promotions and that of mixed martial arts. There are some details that cause things to be a tad different because of budget and how fighters get paid.

Make sure to follow the podcast and help us get to 1,000 subscribers on YouTube before the end of 2025!
