In this episode, we sit down with Rodney Landaverde — teacher, coach, and former student-athlete — to explore how the game continues to shape him on and off the field. Rod shares how journaling, reflection, and an open heart helped him find purpose in a challenging season marked by loss, both on the scoreboard and within the team. Despite players leaving due to immigration struggles and results not going their way, his group chose positivity, unity, and gratitude. Rod reminds us that even in the hardest seasons, the most important skill might just be learning to listen.
