About this listen
Matt Antonelli was the 17th pick in the first round of the 2006 MLB draft by the San Diego . By the 2008 season, he was a top-50 prospect in baseball. But he only played 21 games in the MLB and by 2013 his professional baseball career was over. Matt says “ I’ve been called a bust so many times, I stopped caring a long time ago.” He is now a coach and business owner.
His hardest moment was the year he made my big league debut. He was a top prospect in the Padres’ organization going into the 2008 season. Matt began the season in Triple A and, for the first time in his life, he was horrible. He forgot how to hit and had no idea how to fix it.
We discussed:
- His first big league hit against Greg Maddux.
- What the hard moments teach you and what the easy ones never could.
- Your identity must be bigger than your achievements. Why so many business owners think they are their business.
- Sometimes the greatest growth comes after letting go.
- What feels like a loss can actually be relief in disguise.
