Bigger Than Ball Podcast

Grab a box of tissues because on this week's episode of the Bigger Than Ball Podcast we go DEEP into the tear jerking journey of Chris Vasami, a father and coach living every day with a rare form of thyroid cancer.

Our conversation explores the depths of rockbottom and the hows and whys to fighting and winning that uphill battle with cancer. 

Oh , and we sprinkled a little bit of ball talk in there too!
