Olympian and former professional baseball player Jonathan De Marte shares the side of the athlete journey most people never see — from multiple arm surgeries and independent baseball to signing with the Chicago Cubs and competing in the Olympics for Team Israel.
In this episode of The Coach & Counselor, Jonathan opens up about resilience, identity, athlete development, parenting in sports, injury prevention, and why mentorship and foundational athleticism matter more than ever in today’s youth sports culture.
A powerful conversation for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone navigating growth, adversity, and performance both in sports and in life.
