This episode is tailored for parents AND athletes who are looking for some tools to have a more productive “car ride home” conversation instead of the scary (and sometimes) one-sided conversation. It doesn’t have to be messy and loud. In this episode you’ll learn how to make it more of a mutual, safe (and FUN!) conversation so we can talk about the good things, dabble into the things we need to work on, and then go grab some food, because we know FOOD is the biggest priority post-game!

Join me for Part 2 of the conversation with Team USA shortstop, Delaney Spaulding. Last week, you learned about Delaney’s journey to becoming an Olympic athlete and the sacrifices it took to get her there. But this week, we learn about the devastating injury that almost stripped that Olympic dream away from her. Here’s the story of her overcoming a heartbreaking ACL tear, how COVID had an impact on her recovery, the power of incredible teammates and coaches and her advice on why it’s important to keep injured athletes involved with the team, even when they aren’t cleared to play. If you know of an athlete who is recovering from an injury and the mental and physical strains of it...THIS IS THEIR EPISODE!

In this episode, I’m talking to the inspirational Delaney Spaulding, UCLA All-American, Nike Athlete and current Team USA shortstop. In Part 1, we dive into the power of her two older sisters (who were standouts at Oklahoma and UNC) sparking the inspiration for her to want to play at the highest level, what some of her infield practices and favorite drills are, what sacrifices she had to make to become one of the best in her area, and what it was like growing up in the competitive “softball hub” of California. Next week, we dive deep into the gut-crushing injury that almost took her out of the Olympics, but the powerful story of her strength and endurance to get her back on the field and in pursuit of an Olympic Gold Medal with Team USA.
