Robby ROAD Show Ep. 1 - Failure Aug 25, 2018

Show notes

In my first ever minisode (mini-episode) listen in as I elaborate on my 2011 season in which I struggled mightily on the mound and how I didn't necessarily know how to deal with the constant failure. I credit this season to a lot of personal growth for the fact that I learned so much about myself and my love for this game during that particular season. Download the episode and let me know if you enjoy the minisode!

Paul Reddick -Taking Failure As A Player To Success As A Coach Aug 24, 2018

Show notes

Paul Reddick - Episode 26
In todays episode of The Robby Row Show I sit down with Paul Reddick to chat a little bit about his backstory and how he has gotten to the position he is in today. Paul helps pitchers throw harder. Because of the results of the pitchers that use his many books, courses and instruction Paul is known as the Master of MPH. Paul has served as a scout for Pittsburgh Pirates, a state delegate for USA Baseball and coached in the Montreal Expo farm system. His signature velocity increase course The 90mph Club is used by more pitchers than any other single pitching training program. Definitely want to tune into this one!

Adam Eaton - Overlooked No More Aug 21, 2018

Show notes

In episode 25 of The Robby Row Show I have the absolute honor of sitting down with my boy Adam Eaton, outfielder for the Washington Nationals. Adam and I met in our first professional season when we were both with the Diamondbacks. Dude has an incredible story that I can’t wait for you guys to hear. Adam has dealt with everything you can think of when it comes to baseball. Wasn’t highly recruited, wasn’t a high draft pick, wasn’t looked at as a high level player, been traded twice, etc. Listen in as Adam and I dive into all those topics and how he has been able to stay level headed and bust his butt everyday to be the type of player he is today.
I would highly appreciate a review of this podcast. Not only to increase the popularity of the show which in turn will allow me to bring on more guests but to also benefit me and how I can improve the show. Anything helps so I appreciate you all for tuning in and doing that. If you haven’t already please hit the subscribe button to receive alerts when I produce a new show!

Jason Romano - Hearing Gods Calling Thru Sports Aug 17, 2018

Show notes

In episode 24 of The Robby Row Show I sit down with Jason Romano (IG-jasonromano) and dive into the subject of Faith n Sports. This was a really fun episode for me to record because I get to share my faith a bit with Jason. You really get a first hand look at some of the incredible things God can do with the platform that He has blessed you with. Jason is a walking example of a man seeking God’s Kingdom. When I originally heard that Jason had walked away from his job at ESPN that he had for 17 years I thought this guy was out of his mind. But listening to him speak now and hearing how he is using his platform for the advancement of God’s kingdom.. man there is nothing ko-ko about that! Listen in as we go over Jason’s story which is highlighted by his faith walk and love for sports! You can find all of the links to everything in the show notes over at www.therobbyrowshow.com/jasonromano/
At this time I would like to talk about the sponsor of todays episode ChristLife. ChristLife is a brand dedicated to reminding people of who they are according to who God says they are and not men. The whole brand is based off of Genesis 1:26 where the Bible talks about how we were created in God’s image. When you look in the book of Genesis, you see that everything in this world was spoken into existence except for us, we are the only ones the God created with His bare hands. This is the very reason why things like depression, fear and worry have no power over us. When you understand the DNA that you carry, you realize that we were created to overcome these obstacles and thats what our brand represents.
