Welcome!

I am a Girl Athlete Mindset Mentor and I played softball what feels like my whole life. Growing up, I lived and breathed sports, just like you! But... it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows.

I quickly learned that I hated failure and I was bad at it. I had really high standards for myself as an athlete growing up and even today. I mean, at 10 years old, my heart was set on playing college softball (I ended up playing for an amazing school, Northwestern University). When I didn't meet my expectations, my dad's expectations, my coach's expectations, it was like the world was ending. 

I was afraid to make mistakes. 
When I failed, I believed I was a failure.
I didn't have the confidence that I wanted.
I sure as heck didn't trust myself and felt so much doubt.

I struggled through my first 3 years in college on the hitting side of things. It wasn't until my SENIOR year when things changed for the best. I finally decided to focus on 1) giving it my all 2) having fun 3) whatever happened, happened. To me this was finally letting go of the results. I ended up doubling my batting average and tripling the amount of my at bats with this mindset shift.

So, I decided to be a Mindset Mentor because I knew in my heart and soul that girls after me NEEDED to work on their mindset in order to be successful at softball, sports, and LIFE!

Because, when we feel good, we play good!
