Steven Kwan & Terry Francona: Discussing the Game and Life Beyond Baseball

Steven Kwan: Hey, Terry! Have you seen the new training drills we’re starting next week? They look pretty intense. Not that I’m complaining, I love pushing myself, but it’s going to be a grind.

Terry Francona: (laughs) Oh, I’ve seen them. You know, Steven, I think you might enjoy them. You’ve always been one to rise to the challenge. Remember when you first joined us and you stuck to the extra batting practice like glue?

Steven Kwan: Yeah, I remember that. I was so nervous, trying to make an impression. But those extra hours really paid off. It’s crazy to think about how much can change in just a few years.

Terry Francona: That’s the beauty of the game, really. Development isn’t just physical; it’s mental and emotional too. Speaking of which, how do you balance everything? You know, your personal life with all the pressures of playing in the big leagues?

Steven Kwan: It’s definitely a juggling act. But I’ve learned to prioritize. I center myself with some meditation and stay close to my roots. Family is huge for me. They keep me grounded.

Terry Francona: Smart kid. It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind. A lot of the younger guys could take a page out of your book. Any hobbies you’ve picked up lately to unwind?

Steven Kwan: Oh, I’ve gotten into photography. It’s relaxing and lets me see the world through a different lens, pun intended (laughs). Plus, capturing the beauty of different cities on our road trips is pretty rewarding.

Terry Francona: That’s fantastic! It’s crucial to have something outside of baseball. Keeps you well-rounded. So, if you weren’t playing outfield, what would you see yourself doing?

Steven Kwan: Interesting question. I always thought maybe something in environmental science. I’ve always had a passion for nature and sustainability. How about you, Terry? If you weren’t managing, any second career thoughts?

Terry Francona: (grins) Ah, retirement dreams, huh? I think I’d probably be on a boat somewhere, fishing. Life on the water is appealing, away from all the hustle and bustle. But honestly, it’s hard to imagine life without the game.

Steven Kwan: I hear you on that. Baseball has a way of becoming a part of you. Well, here’s to balancing this crazy, beautiful game with the rest of life, right?

Terry Francona: (raises imaginary glass) Cheers to that, Steven. Now let’s get ready to crush those drills next week!
