  • 145: How to Turn Failure into Feedback with Ali Newland
    Jul 15 2026

    In today's episode, we are sharing our mentorship call with Ali Newland, an LSU Alum and professional softball player in the AUSL for the Portland Cascade. She played outfield and caught at LSU, earned the SEC Volunteer of the Year award as a senior, and is now a utility player for the Cascade. She opens up about her mental performance journey that completely changed her career and life outside of softball.

    Episode Highlights:

    • How playing gymnastics, basketball, and tennis made her a better softball player
    • Why she never stopped working on catching even while playing outfield every day and how that versatility is exactly what got her drafted
    • Failure is feedback and not a personal indictment
    • The Well, Better, How index card system
    • Why confidence is a choice and not a feeling

    Jul 8 2026

    In today's episode, we are sharing our mentorship call with Michaela Edenfield, Texas Volts catcher, Florida State alum, and also known as "Area 51". She opens up about failing forward in Junior Olympic trials, why she never had a dream school, and why doing it until you are it is the only version of confidence worth chasing.

    Episode Highlights:

    • Why having dream goals instead of a dream school is the mindset shift that changes everything in recruiting
    • The impact of the open tryout for the Junior Olympic team
    • Why her pregame makeup routine became one of the most powerful trust-the-preparation tools she has
    • What volleyball taught her about bouncing back from errors that she could not learn in softball alone
    • Don't fake it till you make it, but do it until you are it

    • The importance of embracing pressure as a privilege
    • The ANTs framework — how to identify and squish automatic negative thoughts
    • Why surrounding yourself with the right five people is one of the most important decisions you will ever make as an athlete
    • Why being terrible at basketball made her a better softball player
