In this episode of the Bulldog Beat Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing two members of the Tennessee Wesleyan baseball team, Marco Martinez and Parker Stinnett, as well as Baylie Davis from the softball team. I had a great time chatting with them about their lives, athletic careers, and even some personable questions.

Marco shared with us how he got into playing baseball and the challenges he has faced as a student-athlete. Baylie also talked about her journey in softball, including the moment she realized she wanted to pursue playing softball at the collegiate level. Parker shared with us how the grind was from junior college to the beginning of his career at Tennessee Wesleyan. They all talked about the importance of balancing their academics and athletics and how it has helped them in their lives. At the end of this episode, I asked them some fun questions, such as what are five things they cannot live without. They gave us a wide range of answers from Cookout to sandals. Overall, it was a great conversation with the inspiring athletes who have a bright future ahead of them. You can stream this episode by clicking the link below.
