Matt Antonelli

What if the real game isn't played on the field, but at home, in the way we raise, support, and speak to our kids? In this heartfelt episode, Craig Holman , former pro player and father of two elite athletes, joins Matt Antonelli to share the untold truth about youth and travel baseball. From watching his son Luke battle childhood cancer to seeing him become one of the nation's top prospects, Craig reveals how failure, faith, and love shaped both his family and his coaching philosophy. This isn't just about baseball -it's about building resilient, grounded humans in a culture obsessed with wins and exposure. Whether you're a parent, coach, or young athlete, this episode will change how you see youth sports and what truly defines success. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why "more exposure" isn't the same as development The single most powerful thing parents can say to their kids How to build confidence without pressure or comparison Why failure and struggle are essential for long-term success The life-changing difference between listening to your kids vs. for your kids How perspective-not performance-shapes greatness Craig shares unforgettable stories of parenting through adversity- including his son Luke's fight with cancer, his daughter's final at-bat, and how the "tennis ball moment" changed his understanding of effort forever. His insights remind us that the greatest wins happen off the field and that the true job of a parent-coach is to nurture purpose, not pressure.

We all love great comeback stories. This is one but not like you think …but not in the way you think. Matt Antonelli was the 17th pick in the first round of the 2006 MLB draft by the San Diego . By the 2008 season, he was a top-50 prospect in baseball. But he only played 21 games in the MLB and by 2013 his professional baseball career was over. Matt says “ I’ve been called a bust so many times, I stopped caring a long time ago.” He is now a coach and business owner. His hardest moment was the year he made my big league debut. He was a top prospect in the Padres’ organization going into the 2008 season. Matt began the season in Triple A and, for the first time in his life, he was horrible. He forgot how to hit and had no idea how to fix it. We discussed: His first big league hit against Greg Maddux. What the hard moments teach you and what the easy ones never could. Your identity must be bigger than your achievements. Why so many business owners think they are their business. Sometimes the greatest growth comes after letting go. What feels like a loss can actually be relief in disguise. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-small-business-radio-show--3306444/support .

In 534 at-bats between the two levels, Antonelli finished with a slash line of .304/.404/.491 with 21 homers and 25 stolen bases along with a 94/83 K/BB ratio. He won the Texas League Championship with the Missions in 2007. In 2008, Antonelli played for the Padres' AAA farm club, the Portland Beavers. He struggled at the plate most of the year, hitting just .215, but kept his good eye and ended up with 76 walks. In August he found some success, hitting .290 for the month, with 4 home runs and a .393 OBP. Antonelli was called up to the Padres on September 1, 2008, where he promptly laced a single off Greg Maddux of the Dodgers for his first hit in the major leagues.
