World Series champion Josh Reddick dives into the mental game of conquering rejection on the way to stardom
Episode 67 of The Mental Game brings on Josh Reddick, a 13-year MLB veteran, World Series champion and Gold Glover winner.
Reddick played from 2009-2021 for the Red Sox, A’s, Dodgers, Astros and Diamondbacks, winning the 2017 World Series with Houston.
Why Reddick on The Mental Game?
Reddick’s mental game journey is marked by resilience and a sharp edge. He was cut from his middle school baseball team and embraced a “renegade” mentality, one that lifted him to the sport’s pinnacle.
And once he reached MLB, he had to accomplish something even more difficult: staying in MLB. Reddick did so with flying colors, becoming a star in the process.
He retired earlier this year after playing his final season of baseball in Australia with the Perth Heat.
His appearance on The Mental Game will prime you to rise and conquer, no matter what the outside noise dictates.
Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.
