1LR Athlete Spotlight: Max Yager
Baseball
Some athletes are talented. Some work hard. Some are talented AND work hard. Max Yager, class of '27 is one of those athletes. On the diamond, Max possesses the talent and potential to play at the D1 level.
But what separates him isn't what happens when the lights come on. It's what happens when nobody is watching. His relentless work ethic in the weightroom, commitment to improvement, and willingness to outwork the competition have helped him become the player he is today.
Yet if you've ever spent time around Max, you'll notice something else. He's always smiling, celebrating others' success, encouraging those around him, and bringing positive energy.
His journey hasn't been without adversity. Lingering knee pain began to threaten sports he loved. A standout football player with game changing ability was forced to make a decision. To protect his dream of playing baseball at the next level, he had to walk away from football. During his last game, he had no clue it would be his last. But one thing is for sure, he left it all on the field that last game. That's the 1LR Mindset. Understanding that every practice, every game, every opportunity could be your ONE LAST RUN. Max lives that mindset daily.
Max's 1LR testimonial: I was unfortunately fortunate enough to experience a situation that made me very aware of the 1LR Mindset. I broke my ankle during our state semis football game in 6th grade and wasn't able to suit up for the championship. That day, I made the decision to pound the weights and become as strong as I possibly could to try and prevent future injuries. Since then I haven't taken many days off. Today, I try to apply the 1LR Mindset to every aspect of my life--not just sports, because you never know when your last will be. As I know that life is full of curveballs, just like me.
