This week, I'm talking to Team USA Softball pitcher and also the FIRST female recipient of a MILLION DOLLAR contract for a team sport, Monica Abbott. We are talking about pitching strategy, how to be confident and play to your strengths, mastering movement pitches, the importance of recovery, what we have to look forward to in the 2021 Olympics and more. We also talk about MY first encounter hitting against Monica, which will probably have you laughing right along with us. Enjoy.
