University of Michigan grad and 2023 National Champion at Oklahoma, Alex Storako, joins us today to talk about how some of her biggest failures prepared her to thrive on the biggest stage. She also answers some questions from some of our Virtual Hitting Academy members like: What her presence and self-talk looks like for her on the mound, why it’s important to have a great pitcher-catcher relationship, her experience playing for two HOF coaches, how she’s gotten through many mental blocks on the mound, the importance of building trust with her defense and more!
