MLB Bench Coach, Don Wakamatsu's career in baseball spans nearly four decades across 15 MLB organizations. You may ask yourself how a guy sticks around that long, and if you ask Wak, he'll tell you it's all about getting back up when you get knocked down.  In today's podcast, we discuss:

*Having a thirst to grow, even when you have 30+ years of experience (4:36)

*Self-evaluation (7:15)

*Advice to young coaches (8:55)

*The mindset of a World Series team (12:15)

*The blend of analytics and trust (19:39)

*One pearl of wisdom (28:52)

There were plenty of instances in his career where he could have stayed down, but the drive to "attack it again" drove Wak to push on in the game of baseball.  This episode gives us insight into Wak's personal and professional experiences that have made him the coach he is today. Additionally, his advice to young coaches is crucial to those who seek to understand the performer and help in the most impactful ways possible. We learn from Wak that the coach must prepare themselves to be more than a coach, and instead a parental-figure, brother, or teammate.
