#15 — Michael Petersen

Very few players make the big leagues at 30. Even fewer do it after multiple drafts, years of grinding in the minors, Tommy John surgery, and bouncing between organizations. In this episode, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Michael Petersen shares how he kept believing in his path when everyone else seemed to pass him by. From getting drafted four times before finally signing, to representing Great Britain on the world stage, to earning his MLB debut in 2024, Petersen’s journey proves there’s no expiration date on hard work. We dig into motivation, rehab mentality, surviving the minor-league grind, staying ready when opportunity doesn’t come quickly, and what it really takes to outlast doubt. If you’re chasing a dream that feels far away, this episode will change how you look at perseverance. 📍 Find us here: 🌐 Website: www.rossystraining.com 📸 Instagram: @rossystraining
