We spoke about his journey to accomplishing this dream, the struggles he faced during his career, and how he ended up playing in Amerika, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Of course we also spoke about life after baseball and how his mental training helped him there.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you're interested in Annaleid's Powerful in Balance coaching program, send her a DM on Instagram:<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/actuallyannaxo/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> @actuallyannaxo</a></p><p>Or check out her newest podcast:<a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/6UXfjWZKGaNVgG6aDsCYBV?si=f8cc92f9051248da\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;Powerful in Balance</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By sharing her story in this podcast, Annaleid hopes to support other (former) elite athletes or those approaching retirement.
