Published on: 10th August, 2020

Tips from one of softball's GOATs: Natasha Watley!

Your players may not know today's guest as well as I do because she played before the softball on TV boom... But they SHOULD! 

She's the type of person you want your athletes to emulate. She's

  • Hard-working and committed to getting her job done - even when it's hard!
  • Great at staying focused on the present and the task at hand
  • Confident in her ability to achieve any goal she sets because she knows she'll work for it!

So this would be a great episode to share with them :)
