@B1Gsoftball
on Sydney's Spin
2023 I’ll forever cherish.
Left every ounce of my 💜 on the field for one last time with
@NUSBcats
& realized I never wanted to leave sports.
Took a chance and moved to NY to attend
@NewhouseSports
& follow my dream in covering sports. I’d say we’re living that dream so far..
I am thankful for every opportunity this sport provides but as female athletes we should no longer just accept what we’re given but push for the EQUALITY we DESERVE when we provide as many viewers as the Men’s CWS.

“Softball, you’ve given me way more than I could’ve ever given you, but I hope I left my mark on the game just like you’ve done with me”
Thank you,
@rlewis_11
👏💜
I’ve always been grateful for being on a team on the good days, but today I learned I’m even more grateful for a team on the hard days. Much more than softball, it’s family. 🤞🏻
A special moment as
@umichsoftball
player Kaylee announces she is CANCER FREE!
The whole world of softball is behind you in everything you do next. 🫶🏼🥎
Special weekend at FSU where I did my first segment on ESPN. 🏈
Thankful for the two who continue to never miss a game. 💛

I was honored to speak at our
@NU_Sports
graduation in a room full of people who make this place special. 🎓💜
From traveling the country watching my games to traveling to where I’m broadcasting games.
Notice the AirPods? It’s because they watch the game while listening to me call it. 🥹
Athletes there is nothing more special than the people on the journey with you.
The way
@sportsiren
has invested so much time into every one of the players being drafted for the
@WNBA
to be able to ask them questions about their families, journeys and off the court life.
She's one of the best for a reason. 💐

My little niece told me kids were making fun of her dream to be the first girl ever in the NBA...told her the best lesson I ever learned. Only one person has to believe in your dreams for them to come true, and that’s yourself.
For every Dad who has made his kids’ dream their own. You all are the silent hero’s in the stands who make it all possible. ❤️
To my Dad who for 8+ years found a way to write me good luck notes before game, Happy Fathers Day.

After Amanda Eaglin got the win for Army she was “kind” enough to take me through their IOCT fitness test. Let’s just say I was humbled.
FROM THE PLAYERS…💜
In honor of the start of softball season, I am SO EXCITED to announce this podcast that has been a dream of mine. The inspiration is to shine light on all of the incredible players out there for who they are as PEOPLE.✨

I’ll be on call for Alumni Day on Saturday and in the stands with the women who continue to make this program so remarkable on the other days. Can’t wait to see how much you pack the J this weekend Evanston!!
His story was greater than I could have ever dreamt…🙏🏼
Forever thankful for this game that has given me my most special moments and cherished relationships. I have lived out every dream that the little girl in me could have ever prayed for.
Thank you
@NUSBcats
💜
Always the hardest part of sports to watch…
Prayers to the Army player who is being carted off and their entire team. 🙏🏼
A true example of class acts from both teams coming together to send their love to the player before leaving the field.
I feel so BLESSED to be a part of a program that supports what I do both on & off the field! This is only the beginning, get ready to see more of your Cats coming soon. 💜
Pitching extraordinaire 🥎
Aspiring journalist 🎥

#WorldSoftballDay
Perfect time to listen to my newest episode with
@hallie_wacaser
as
@FSU_Softball
prepares to play in Super Regionals tonight and punch their to OKC! 🎟️🥎
We talk mental health around softball, coming back from injury, and what FSU softball is all about.
So often it’s forgotten that athletes are HUMANS with emotions and not just here for everyone’s entertainment. I hope people learn from
@Simone_Biles
strength (not talking about gymnastics) but in putting mental health first. That is real life toughness we must all learn from 👏🏼
