What do multilingualism, mental resilience, and an eight-game losing streak have in common? They're all part of the journey of Nic Deschamps, catcher for the Vancouver Canadians.

In this episode, Nic chats with host K.P. Wee and shares how growing up in Quebec City shaped his baseball path—from juggling hockey and baseball as a kid to stepping into the catcher's gear for good at 14. He dives into what sparked the team's dramatic mid-season turnaround, how trust defines the bond with pitchers, and why communication transcends language barriers when you speak English, French, and Spanish.

Nic also opens up about:

• The challenge of training through snowy Quebec winters—and how a local dome changed everything

• Battling through early-season setbacks to improve his offensive game

• Staying mentally sharp on grueling road trips and letting go of tough days

• Why superstition isn't his thing, even if jersey streaks might suggest otherwise

• Which NHL jersey he owns (no, it's not the Habs')

• And yes... why poutine is elite ballpark food (especially when you're homesick)
