"For the Love of the Game" with Mark Shannon

The Brittany Wheeler Show

About Episode

America’s pastime stole the heart of a young boy from Massachusetts. An athletic journey that would place him in rooms with players and coaches who are considered some of the best. A work ethic and determination that surpassed all the doubt, rejection and obstacles that came his way. Mark Shannon found himself playing Division II baseball for a small liberal arts college in New Hampshire not knowing that while baseball led him there it would be so much more that kept him there. In this conversation with my friend and fellow alumni we talk about our incredible experience at Franklin Pierce University and how we both were forever changed by those four years. You will fall in love with Mark’s passion for baseball and his vision for the future of the game!

• The support and sacrifices of Mark’s parents played a crucial role in shaping his athletic career and this success
• Mark’s love for baseball and passion to create accessibility for anyone to play has fostered his dream to create his own baseball complex
• As Mark's dreams of playing professional baseball were fading he embraced the options and gifts in front of him. He because the best leader, coach and teammate
• Being outgoing is not an indicator of invincibility nor does it mean that person loves being that way. Mark shares how this persona and putting himself out there has taken work
