Mike Safo with Bob Tewksbury

Joined today by former MLB all-star and 14-year veteran, Bob Tewksbury. Bob and I talk about me waking him up at 5am on accident on the day of the interview. We hear about him being drafted by my NYY and refusing to live in the big apple. We then talk about his book "Ninety Percent Mental: An All-Star Player Turned Mental Skills Coach Reveals the Hidden Game of Baseball" and how relevant it is in today’s game. Bob tells me what he’s doing now with the Cubs, how he approaches the superstars of the game and why mental wellbeing is so important in baseball. He shares what it was like dealing with the mental difficulties of being a pitcher, being on 6 different teams and how golfers, kickers and other sports are realizing the importance of being mentally realistic and strong. I ask bob if he would make it in today’s game or even given the chance to make it, his answer is surprising. From baseball movies to why Wrigley is so special and more.
