005: Roman Martin, UCLA Baseball - Trust in God's Plan
Virtuous Athlete
Roman is a member of the UCLA Bruins baseball team that went to the 2025 College World Series. Along that journey he was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Los Angeles Regional and was voted Second Team All-Big 10. Prior to his time at UCLA, he was part of the USA 18U Team that won a Gold medal and was rated the number one player in his class in the State of California. Roman embraces and celebrates his Mexican heritage, especially his appreciation for his family and the impact they have had on his life. During our conversation, Roman shares how his faith has grown in college as he faced a more secular world at UCLA, and he had to take more ownership of his own faith. He also shares that as he has learned to focus more on God and less on himself, he has become less stressed, learned to "Trust in God's Plan", and been able to play the game of baseball more freely.
