About the Speaker:
Scott Podsednik helped lead the Chicago White Sox to their 2005 World Series Championship by providing energy at the top of their lineup and by hitting just the 14th walk-off home run in World Series history in Game 2. He made his major league debut playing with the Seattle Mariners in 2001. The Milwaukee Brewers acquired Scott in 2003 where he went on to be named Major League Baseball Rookie of The Year by MLB.com and was also voted National League Most Outstanding Rookie by his peers. In 2004, he led all of baseball with 70 stolen bases and earned the honor of being selected to his first All-Star game in 2005.
Scott’s path to greatness in the world of Major League Baseball was not easy however. He languished in the minor leagues for many years, frustrated by his inability to fully tap into his potential as a player. How he transitioned to the pinnacle of success as a professional baseball player is an inspiring story of grit, determination, resilience and absolute focus.
Now retired and living in Dallas, Scott speaks to groups and organizations about the challenges and disappointments he experienced early in his career and the lessons he learned about what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
