On Episode 24, Sam and Jack are joined by Iowa softball commit Madelyn Rouse to introduce her to Hawkeye Nation and better understand what kind of competitor and person she is. She talks about her infectious optimism, her love for the pressure on the mound and how her opinion and views on softball have changed over the years. We touch on the IHSA's inability to give a clear plan for current high school athletes, what she's doing to prepare for her senior season/freshman college season and her expectations for both seasons as well as her collegiate career.
