What happens when your entire identity is stripped away?
In this powerful episode of the Radiance Videography Podcast, Jason Dames sits down with Adam Hachman, a former top MLB draft prospect, Team USA gold medalist, and elite pitcher whose career was nearly ended by multiple surgeries, anxiety, and identity loss.
Adam opens up about throwing 100 MPH, navigating MLB scouts and national rankings, tearing his UCL mid-game, and the mental spiral that followed. From Tommy John surgery to transferring schools, battling depression, losing confidence, and questioning his future—this is the side of elite athletics few people talk about.
But this story isn’t just about baseball.
It’s about:
Identity beyond performance
Mental health in competitive sports
What happens when success disappears
Why faith often begins in suffering
Learning to trust God when prayers aren’t answered the way you expect
Adam shares how repeated injuries, anxiety, and loss ultimately led him to open a Bible for the first time, rebuild his faith, and discover peace beyond the game.
Whether you’re an athlete, parent, coach, or someone walking through hardship—this conversation will meet you where you are.
Sometimes God doesn’t remove the trial… He uses it.
👇 Watch till the end — this one goes deep.
