Let’s play ball! And by “ball,” we of course mean the tenth episode of Practice First. This week, we had the privilege of learning from keynote speaker, business consultant, and beloved announcer for the Kansas City Royals, Joel Goldberg. If you’ve ever wondered what there is to learn from telling stories and announcing thousands of hours worth of baseball games, wonder no longer. 
In this episode, Joel and Ben cover...

• How Whit Merrifield nearly quit, but practiced and became the Royals’ best player
• Why a “tough, gritty, hard-working” person will always be Joel’s first round pick
• How trust, relationships, and constructive criticism are essential for any team to win
• Why repetitions and failure have allowed Joel to thrive in announcing

It’s a home run of an episode because, as you can imagine, Joel is captivating, sharp, and insightful, especially when it comes to practice.
