In this powerful and heartfelt episode of SAC FLY, Blake sits down with one of college baseball’s most iconic figures—Coach Pat Casey. A three-time national champion, five-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year, and Collegiate Baseball Hall of Famer, Coach Casey’s resume is legendary. But this conversation goes far beyond the diamond.
Blake and Coach Casey explore the soul of leadership—what it means to coach people, not just players. They talk about the grind of building a culture from the ground up, the difference between teaching and coaching, and why discipline, faith, and gratitude are non-negotiables in life and sport.
From his small-town Oregon roots to the national stage in Omaha, Coach Casey shares stories of resilience, reflection, and raising boys into men—on and off the field. If you’re a parent, coach, business leader, or anyone seeking to lead with purpose, this episode will stay with you long after the final out.
