Failure. It’s a word that makes most athletes cringe—but what if we told you that failure is actually one of the best tools for growth? In this episode of Like a Girl, we’re breaking down the fear of failure, why it happens, and how to reframe it as a stepping stone to success.

Softball is a game of failure. Even the best hitters fail 7 out of 10 times. Errors happen. Strikeouts happen. Bad games happen. But instead of letting failure shake your confidence, what if you learned to embrace it?

In this episode, we’ll cover:

✔️ Why failure happens all the time in sports—and why that’s okay.

✔️ The anxiety surrounding failure and how to break free from it.

✔️ How to shift your mindset so failure fuels growth instead of fear.

✔️ Tips to bounce back stronger after mistakes, tough games, or setbacks.

If you’ve ever let fear hold you back, this episode is for you. Failure doesn’t define you—it refines you. Let’s talk about how to fail forward and keep playing with confidence.
