Back to EpisodesNick Raquet: The Pitcher Who Quit Baseball, Joined Wall Street, Then Fought His Way Back to the MLB
Description
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Nick Raquet and I dig into the mindset that turns overthinking into action, why conviction beats a “perfect” plan, and how a three-year break from baseball led to a sharper return to the show. The call-up, the debut, and the plan to stay there all hinge on believing big and focusing small.

• using thought in prep, then shutting it off to compete
• pitch clock rhythm, scouting, and trusting strengths
• conviction over hesitation and owning every pitch

• leaving baseball for EY and finding purpose again
• building productive self-talk and identity beyond sport
