If you could go back in time, what would you change? What message would you tell yourself? On this week's episode, I go down memory lane and share my love letter on 10 essential lessons I wish I knew during my college softball career.

Episode Highlights:

• Take the weight room seriously
• The Spotlight Effect
• Your relationship with coaches and teammates takes on new meaning when you understand their true motivations
• Listen to your mom's advice to have fun while playing
• Your dad pushes you because he cares deeply
• Mental skills matter
• Develop interests outside softball
• You are enough

If any of these lessons resonated with you, I'd love to hear your feedback! My DMs are open on Instagram, or leave a comment if you're watching on YouTube.

In today's episode, I am sharing a co-hosted parent workshop from 2021 with Coach Nicole Dennis, a mental performance coach, on growth mindset. We explore how understanding and developing a growth mindset can transform athletic performance, especially for young pitchers.

Episode Highlights:

• Creating awareness about fixed-mindset language and behaviors
• The power of "yet"
• Praising the process and effort rather than talent or natural ability
• Using intentional conversations to get curious about athletes' perspectives
• Celebrating failure in controlled environments to reduce fear

This week, I am sharing our Mentorship Call from January with Jordan Roberts. She takes us on her journey with Coach Kara and our Warriors about how she went from a college catcher at the University of Florida to a professional player with Athletes Unlimited, revealing how mental performance tools transformed her game and life.

Episode Highlights:

• Key mental tools: journaling and breathwork
• Forging mental resilience through repeated exposure to challenges
• Value of creating an identity outside of softball
• The power of viewing pressure as a privilege rather than a burden
• Finding joy in the game after overcoming the fear of disappointing others
