What happens when the game you love is taken away?
This conversation reminded me what really holds an athlete together.

In this episode of In the Huddle, I sit down with George Baker, catcher for the University of Louisville baseball team, to talk about faith, family, injury, and identity. This episode is for athletes, parents, and anyone who’s ever tied their worth to performance and had it stripped away.

We talk about growing up in a Christ-centered home, navigating injuries, resisting the trap of sports becoming an idol, and how faith became personal—not inherited—when baseball stopped. If you’re trying to follow God while competing at a high level, this is a must-watch all the way through.
