🚨 Season 2 is HERE and we’re officially on YouTube! 🎉
We’re kicking things off with an episode that hits hard for a lot of softball families. 👇
Ever seen a talented player freeze up in front of a college coach? Madison opens up about her anxiety during recruiting, including the time she rehearsed a convo for 15 minutes… only to get shut down instantly. 😳
It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s something so many athletes go through but rarely talk about. This father-daughter convo pulls back the curtain on what recruitment really feels like from both sides.
We also dive into NIL deals, how recruiting is changing, and why high school players are feeling more pressure than ever—maybe too early.
Then we shift gears and share our experience at the Alabama State Games. From Olympic-style ceremonies to a heartwarming moment with the Miracle League, where every game ends with:
👉 “Let’s line up, shake hands, and be friends.”
If you’re a softball parent, a player chasing the next level, or just love good sports stories, this one’s for you.
