Former MLB pitcher Shawn Tolleson opens up about the pressure, injuries, setbacks, and mindset shifts that shaped his career, and how those lessons now fuel his mission with POP Athletics. In this episode, Shawn breaks down why pressure may be “made up,” why young athletes are tying their identity too closely to performance, and how parents, coaches, and leaders can help create a healthier path to growth.

From getting injured in front of MLB scouts to learning how to focus on inputs over outcomes, this conversation is packed with powerful lessons for athletes, parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone trying to perform at a high level without losing themselves in the process.
