Coach & Kernan Episode 37 Real Voices of the Game with Special Guest MLB Trainer Lee Kunz


AMBS and Dave entertain 30+ year MLB veteran trainer Lee Kunz. Lee talks in depth about his upcoming World Baseball Classic trip with Team France (managed by Bruce Bochey) and the Cuban & Venezualan influence on baseball in France. We learn about the importance of his mentors, with greats like Charlie Manuel and George Kissler. His gratitude towards the players he's helped comes through- Jim Thome, Charles Nagy, Manny Rameriz, Paul Suey. Lee's influence on his athletes is far greater than the training room as he emphasizes the balance between understanding his craft and the human being. He cautions kids about "chasing velocity" and encourages kids to have respect ... good old fashioned please and thank you in his office. A true ball player in his own right, you'll leave this episode understanding Lee's core belief, that baseball is meant to be played everyday ... and believe me, this is the guy that can get you to do it.
