Shownotes

3x Olympian and 4x All-American, Cat Osterman, is BACK on the show this week (and next!) sharing a bit more of how she and her dad were a TEAM in pursuit of her big dreams, a bit of how retirement and mom life has been treating her lately,  and her honest take on the travel ball space and how we as coaches and parents can (and should!) make it a better environment for our athletes.
