William’s Way: Bravery, Baseball & Big Dreams

William’s Way is a journey filled with character, courage, and charisma. In this heartfelt episode, Coach Aaron and co-host Easton welcome 10-year-old William Miller to The SLIDE Podcast. Hailing from Arizona, William brings a powerful blend of personality and purpose, sharing how baseball, big moments, and a love for storytelling helped shape his passion for the game.

From Arizona Fields to Big-Time Moments

William may be young, but he’s already wise beyond his years. With stories about competitive moments on the field, including a dramatic game-ending umpire reversal that cost his team a championship shot, William reveals the emotional highs and lows of youth baseball. His reflection on the game shows just how deeply he cares—not just about winning, but about doing what’s right. “He should’ve been out,” William explains. “We were all cheering until the ump changed the call. It just didn’t feel fair.”

Big Dreams Backed by Big Personality

More than just a ballplayer, William shines as a motivational voice and storyteller. His energy and honesty light up the episode, as he describes his experiences with RAD Baseball and his love for cereal (a classic podcast favorite). He speaks with wisdom and clarity, proving that big dreams don’t wait for adulthood—they begin with purpose, heart, and a glove.

Easton’s Dominican Republic Journey & RAD Gear Drops

While William shares his story, co-host Easton gives an update on his own exciting path. A proud ambassador for RAD, Easton is preparing to represent Team USA in the Dominican Republic. Between gearing up with American flag gloves and talking with RAD about new sunglasses, he’s also showing what it means to lead on and off the field.

“We were all cheering…until the ump changed the call. It just didn’t feel fair.” – William
