Former MLB star Anthony Rizzo joins Greg Olsen on Youth Think to discuss his incredible journey from battling Hodgkin lymphoma at 18 years old to winning the 2016 World Series with the Chicago Cubs. Rizzo opens up about the life lessons that shaped his career, the importance of having fun in youth sports, and why giving back through the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation means more to him than anything he accomplished on the field. Plus, he shares stories about fatherhood, catching a home run ball at Wrigley Field with his son, and what young athletes can learn from failure.
