In this week's episode, I am thrilled to welcome Mike Coy to the podcast who joins me from Chattanooga, TN, United States.
Mike Coy grew up on the baseball field. From his early days of playing in Beaumont, Texas, to a long history of coaching, he has always been drawn back to the game. His dad was an umpire and coach that helped every kid in town with their game. Baseball is in his blood. And with good reason — his teams are winners!
After playing in college, Mike moved into the TX/LA Professional Baseball League where he hit .556 for a magical season in 1977, won the league championship, was named MVP and Offensive Player of the Year two years in a row, and won a contract offer with the New York Mets baseball team. Since then, he has gone on to coach Little League, Senior League, Big League and Select Baseball. Today, at 60+ years old, Mike is still playing and dominating Men’s Senior Baseball League with seven (7!) World Championship Rings!
Fueled by his father's poignant words, "make a difference," Mike transformed a harrowing battle with cancer into an incredible journey of triumph. As a sought-after keynote speaker and best-selling author of "I Chose…Live: There’s No Cheating Cancer, And We All Have a Choice To Make," a testament to overcoming adversity and making life-changing choices.
With a powerful mantra, "Winners find a way to win. Losers only find excuses why they fail," Mike inspires profound shifts in perspective and action, motivating individuals to embrace purpose and resilience.
Mike’s story encompasses not just a battle against cancer but a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. His strength lies in his ability to motivate others to find purpose, conquer adversity, and live each day with gratitude and determination.
Mike also has a stellar career as a Registered Financial Consultant.
It has been my pleasure to have Mike join me, and I know, my listeners, that you will enjoy the episode.
Enjoy the episode, and a special thank you to my listeners for joining me on this journey.
