## Resource

Sean Doolittle, ex-Major League pitcher and Star Wars fanatic, now coaches for the Nationals—his 11-year MLB career, capped with two All-Star nods and a World Series ring, now fuels his mission to mentor 13-16 pitchers. Gone are the solo grind days of film study and weight room sessions; now he’s orchestrating mental strategies for entire pitching staffs. Surprisingly, his coaching path wasn’t pre-planned—he was nudged by the Nationals’ GM and encouraged by his wife to stay in the game. With little time left for leisure or his beloved Star Wars, Doolittle’s new role is even more immersive than playing. His driving force? Giving players the same trust and support he once received, finding deep fulfillment when his pitchers execute and thrive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
