About this episode

Garner Christensen shares his journey from hockey goalie to college baseball player and the challenges he faced along the way.

Garner Christensen joins the show a couple episodes after his mother was on. We dive into some storytelling about a young man who loves the game of hockey. He was involved from a young age, and ended up as a goalie. We spoke to decision making, and the challenge he faced stepping away from the game as a teenager to pursue a track for college baseball. He found his success, and has since returned to Washington after his collegiate career. Enjoy the tales from a second Christensen!! https://www.beautyunis.com/ https://www.thegardensicehouse.com/ https://43degreesports.com/ https://summitcustomsticks.com/
