I ONCE WAS

Stories of transformation from the lives of pro athletes

***

During one particular season, MLB shortstop Nick Ahmed was full of fear, anxiety, depression and worry on a near-daily basis. He was struggling to fit in on a new team after being traded, and was dealing with failure on the field like never before. But during another tough game one night, instead of warming up before an inning, he turned toward the outfield and closed his eyes. What happened next gave him a peace he’d never felt before, and a peace that hasn’t left him since.
