What does it really take to climb from small-town Friday-night lights to the roar of a Division One stadium? In this episode of STEMtastic Stories with Stanberry, I sit down with former player—and now fellow coach—Ryan Arredondo to unpack the work ethic and mindset that carried him to college baseball’s biggest stage. Together we tackle today’s “me-first” culture in youth sports, sharing candid locker-room stories and coaching insights on rebuilding a team mentality, demanding accountability, and translating athletic discipline into life success. Whether you’re a coach trying to rally a roster or an athlete chasing elite performance, Ryan’s hard-won lessons on grit, being a team guy, and relentless preparation will fire up your next practice/classroom—and maybe your next chapter. Tune in and get ready to work!
