About this listen

If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “This isn’t what sports were supposed to be”… you’re not alone.

Parents today feel the pressure — to spend more, specialize earlier, and chase perfection — all while quietly wondering: Am I doing too much…or not enough? The Curveball Life is for families caught in that tension.

Written by a former Ivy League and pro baseball player turned dad, this book isn’t about chasing a scholarship. It’s about raising a strong, grounded kid who thrives long after the final out.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Real stories from the field, the boardroom, and the dinner table
  • Honest reflections on failure, identity, leadership, pressure, and growth
  • A closing section in every inning (chapter) written just for parents

If youth sports ever leave you feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or just a little disheartened, this book might help you breathe again. Because the goal isn’t just the next level. It’s raising the kind of kid who can handle any level — for life.
