In this 2nd episode of the new year, the 1st Monday of 2021 I'm going to be sharing with you some motivational Monday type vibes!! You may be thinking where am I sharing it from? You are gonna get some content from my personal coaching knowledge but you're also going to be along with me for the ride of reading one of coach Woodden's books...infact it is so small it will fit in your back pocket or in your ears with audible?!? I'm simplifying life not only for myself but for you! This is the 2nd time going through this book and I'm bringing you with me, so let's go!

In this episode Bella and I follow up episode 1 with a couple key topics. Weighted GPA 4.0! We start off with a post tourney run down (Horizon Park)in Scottsdale AZ for the Toys for Tots Tournament, (Which she and her NEW team won!!) What recruiting right now looks like with Covid, how Pitching Angel; founder and creator Amanda Scarborough helped her get back to the basics during the state shutdown through online lessons and finishing off with how this year went, goals for 2021 and discussing her goal to play softball professionally so one day she can give back to young softball players.

In this special episode you will hear how this Arizona softball player got started in this game, keeps going through the pandemic and also get an insight on her future plans. She literally is one of a kind student athlete and has already defined and works hard at what separates her from other softball pitchers. Enjoy, feel free to share this and follow her in her journey on Instagram @isabella_hernandez_the_oly

Real Talk here. A theory that needs to be brought to life. How to build a confident team vs a cocky team....allowing the good and the growth to spread through your program vs the negativity and the cancer.

As a Coach, a parent and even an athlete you do not have to always be on the defensive side on and off the field. You can choose to be bold without causing conflict.

Where I am at now with my softball story. So much to be grateful for plus learning how to make my own motivation even in my worst moments.

The one thing that almost killed me but instead re-directed me to what God wanted for me. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
