037: MJ Sweeney - Wichita State Baseball - "A Father's Love"
Virtuous Athlete
MJ Sweeney is in his first year as a Wichita State Shocker, after two seasons at Grossmont College in El Cajon, CA. MJ is the son of Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer Mike Sweeney, who is also the Chairman of the Catholic Athletes for Christ Athlete Advisory Board. During this episode, MJ shares the impact his parents have had on him over the years through his faith and becoming the man God is calling him to be. Through success and adversity, his parents have made it a point to make sure MJ knows that his performance in baseball does not impact their love for him, even when others may do so as Mike Sweeney's son. MJ has had quite the baseball journey with different forms of adversity to deal with over the years. However, through the adversity, he has turned to his faith each time to come out stronger on the other end.
