096: Playing Your Best Under Pressure with Leah Jurgens
Manage episode 496005126 series 3501703
This week's episode features our June mentorship call with Leah Jurgens, a retired collegiate softball player. She is near and dear to my heart because I had the privilege of personally coaching her as a pitching coach and travel ball coach! She shared her journey as a collegiate athlete and how her experience translates into life skills outside of the sport.
Episode Highlights:
• The mental shift from high school to college athletics
• Embracing failure as part of softball
• Finding your "why" and using it as motivation
• Viewing practice as an opportunity rather than an obligation
