Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with Purdue University alum, former Dallas Charge pro and host of “When The Cleats Come Off”, Ashley Burkhardt.

Ash had a stellar four years at Purdue, where she earned three straight All-Region honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association (NFCA). She was also a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and garnered first-team All-Big Ten accolades in 2014. She was drafted in the National Pro Fastpitch League by the Dallas Charge where she would spend two years before moving on to the coaching ranks and then starting her own business called Ashley Burkhardt Training.

We’re gonna talk to Ash about getting her start in the game, her time at Purdue, of course, her Ashley Burkhardt Training, which produced the fantastic podcast “When The Cleat Come Off”, as well as, much, much more.

It was an absolute joy to get to talk to Ashley about her career and the success of her training program.  I’m sure big things are in store for her and I wish Ash nothing but the best moving forward.
