I’m Ben Zobrist, and the Champion Forward Inner Circle is the result of my passion to help the youth sports ecosystem. 

Winning the World Series with the Chicago Cubs as the MVP was supposed to be the pinnacle of my career. 

And it was—at first. Between receiving a sports car on the field, TV invitations, a parade with 7 million people, and being flown on a private jet with my family to Disney World, life got crazy.
But when the dust settled, I realized I had no idea who I was outside the uniform. Despite the “success,” I felt disconnected from my purpose. I didn’t have the tools to process the emotional transition from being a hero on the baseball field to being a regular human in the pickup line at my kid’s school.  

I felt anxious, depressed, and depleted, which led me to a journey of self-investigation to learn how to reconnect to myself and bring balance back into my life. 

Throughout this process, I discovered the #1 thing I wish I learned as an athlete that would have made me a better player: emotional versatility. 

The truth is, the pressure to perform at the highest level—to be a hero—can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. And when you can identify your emotional experience and process it in a healthy way, you become a better leader, coach, parent, and teammate.

THIS IS YOUR INVITATION TO THRIVE

If you are an athlete...

Don’t wait until your career is over to start doing the inner work. Prioritizing your emotional and mental well-being is crucial to reaching the performance milestones you work so hard for. Learning to connect to yourself outside of the uniform will help you excel in the sport you love and the roles you play off the field.  


If you are a parent or coach...

We can teach youth these concepts, but if we don’t have mentors like you modeling these tools  in action, it's ineffective. Your participation is key to helping your children and teams thrive. And when you are the healthiest version of yourself, you can become a pillar of support for the young athletes you care about.
