  • Resumen

  • A lot of athletes get into their game at a young age, but when Jenn Salling’s father took her to watch her first softball game at two weeks old, she might’ve become the team’s youngest fan. Her dad’s talent as a fastpitch catcher, his camaraderie with his teammates, and her mom’s exemplary toughness gave Jenn all the ingredients she needed to excel on the field in both soccer and softball, but it was the defensive challenge that the bat and ball presented that eventually led her to focus on the latter. Jenn’s stellar play in British Columbia got the attention of the University of Oregon, where she played her first college softball season. But after she got a taste of big city life when representing Team Canada at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Jenn decided to transfer to the University of Washington. It soon became clear that she’d made a wise choice, as the Huskies won their first national championship. A decorated stint in the pros followed and at the Tokyo Games last year, Jenn capped an incredible career by helping Canada go one better than their 4th place finish in Beijing, as the team captured the bronze medal. She’s now an assistant coach with the Canadian national team. In this episode, Jenn shares: · What she learned about the game and life from Huskies coach Heather Tarr · How her Huskies teammates were champions off the field as well as on it · Why she embraced the saying “Without struggle there is no progress” · How her mental game helped her stay at the top for so long · What she and her team did differently to win bronze at the Tokyo Olympics Follow Jenn’s journey on her Instagram feed, @jenn_salling.
