Chopper gives his response to what he would say in the same situations.

He's one of the best to ever play the game. They call him "The Machine." The numbers don't lie...3,301 Career Hits. 679 Home Runs. 2,150 Runs Batted In. 10 All Star Games, 2 World Series Championships, 3 MVP's, 6 Silver Sluggers, and he's still playing! We spend an hour with Albert talking about his upbringing in the DR, his Major League career, and his off the field endeavors. Of all those accolades, The Roberto Clemente Award is his most prized. He shares with us what questions he would have for Roberto if he could meet him. He also gives great advice for the young hitter. What's the difference between hitting in Little League, and High School? How was he able to hit for power, and put the ball in play so much? To close out the program, we discuss his foundation, the Pujols Family Foundation, which serves the Down Syndrome Community and underserved areas of the Dominican Republic. Chad Chop also challenges him to a Trivia Contest, which you definitely don't wanna miss. Thank you for all you are Albert Pujols. Enjoy, rate, review, and SHARE!

Let’s be honest — sometimes it’s not the kids who need a pep talk, it’s us adults.
This week, we’re unpacking the real reasons parents feel anxious watching their kids play sports — and how that pressure trickles down to the field.

We also tackle the classic conundrum:
🏆 How do we teach commitment without handing out participation trophies?
💪 How do we value fun and accountability?

It’s part therapy session, part coaching clinic, and 100% truth.

👉 Tune in for some hard questions, soft toss answers, and a reminder that the best coaching starts with keeping your cool.
