About this episode
The episode explores the themes of mentoring and experience through the lens of the classic sports movie 'Bull Durham'.
This week we look at a classic sports movie from the 80's - An aging minor league catcher, a hot shot young pitcher, and a woman who sees herself as part of the minor league experience. Mentoring the young pitcher, Crash Davis discovers he is more than a baseball player - he is a mentor and coach. Join us as we explore why mentoring and experience matter and how this movie captures all of this.
