Jeff Francoeur played 12 seasons in the major leagues, spending six of those years with the Atlanta Braves, where he won a Gold Glove Award in 2007. Now in retirement, he works as a Braves analyst for Bally Sports and also co-hosts a podcast called Pure Athlete that covers a variety of topics including the intersection of faith and sports.
He joins Scott Linebrink on "Get in the Game" this week, and in this conversation he talks about his faith journey, his baseball career, how to deal with failure and the importance of humility and adaptability in leadership. He also shares the story of how former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson was instrumental in leading him to giving his life to Christ.
