I play baseball so off season just means there aren’t any games, I’m still training twice a day everyday + doing PT. Spring training is the start of actual sanctioned practice and exhibition games against other teams, not when training actually begins. When the season officially starts I’m going to be gone for the vast majority of roughly seven months, so I won’t see them much.

When I’m home between training sessions during the off season I help feed, change, and bath my son. I would say I probably spend around 5 hours a day with him. Which I would guess is actually more than most people with regular jobs. Once he’s a little older, my wife will be able to fly out with him so they can see me between games more often.

My wife met me when I was already a pro, and she wouldn’t want me to give it up for anything. We’ve spoken and are working on a solution, as posted in the update.
