I am so excited to share my conversation with Morgan Stuart. She played college softball at Washington and was on the 2009 women's college world series championship team. She also played on the Philippines women's national softball team. Now she coaches full-time in California. I love that our missions are aligned in that we care about empowering the next generation of softball players with tools for confidence and knowing who they are. We talk a lot about that in this interview where she shares what she wants to instill in her athletes, how to overcome the fear of making mistakes and what it means to embrace failure through reps. We also talk about the journey to getting recruited and how unique and diverse the opportunities are despite the D1 Or bust mentality. This quote from Morgan's bio is my favorite because it perfectly sums up who she is as someone who cares deeply about the mission of growing the mental side of our game. She says: "For me, it's not only about mechanics, but also about producing valuable teammates and self reliant athletes that know how to make adjustments and how to be their best competitive selves." And that's exactly what our conversation entails.
