Summary

Tune in to today’s interview with Baltimore’s own outfielder, Chris Dickerson, as we discuss power habits of the pro-athlete, lessons learned playing Derek Jeter, handling tough injuries, and using your mindset to tune out the negatives (and boost your positives). Part MLB athlete, and part environmental-hero, Dickerson is a man on a mission with his co-founded organization, “Players for the Planet”. Check out more info below:

Players for the Planet was founded by former Major League Baseball players Chris Dickerson of the Baltimore Orioles and Jack Cassel. Players for the Planet believes the greening of the world must take place in all types of venues. Thus, the organization has dedicated its resources and the talents of the professional athletes who support its mission to educate all involved in youth, amateur and professional sports on how best to adopt environmental practices that will preserve the playing fields and stadiums where we all enjoy playing and watching sports.
