That is actually a really good idea . I can't remember who it was . Um , we're going to do something really special .
So do you guys remember how , on the lives before , we gave away stickers ? Well , so your girl has a lot of stamping to finish , but we're not going to be giving away stickers tonight . If you're here on live and you stay till the end , we're going to be giving on away three . Yeah , you heard me .
Three one-on-one sessions with me , coach AB , so you can have a private session with me . We're going to be giving away three of those , but you got to stay till the end because coach Mara give us a wave . Coach Mara is going to be using the random number generator .

¶ Challenge Week Recap and Rewards
you guys see my screen ? Let's go Okay . So you did it . You did the mentally stronger challenge , so I have a few questions for you guys . Type in the chat . We still have a ways to go . Remember , you can put yes or no and you guys can be honest . And this is really a lot for parents too .
How many of you guys focus on the things you did wrong more than you focus on the things you did right ? I see some smirks already . This is recap Now . I don't expect that after a week together that these things are solved . The point of challenge week was to bring your awareness to this . Coach AB needs to pull out the chat .
Does anybody be able to see the chat ? Yeah , I'm getting some yeses , some no's . Next thing is let's talk about it . So Noah is a great example of this . Noah has been a fearless warrior . She's out of Florida . One of the things that she had discovered and that mom had talked about was there's less meltdowns while practicing and there's more confidence .
She was inducted to the national honor junior honor society , pitched a great game with seven strikeouts and moved up in the batting lineup . Fearless warrior program is an excellent way for girls to learn about mental skills and the importance of training their thoughts . Did we talk about thoughts this week ? We know what our negative thoughts are .
I'm getting some coach . Next one my athlete struggles to bounce back and gets in her own head and it carries in to the next performance . How many of you guys have felt like one bad game leads to another bad game , or one at bat leads to another at bat ?
Yeah , I'm getting some yeses , which , by the way , do you guys remember when I said Jordy ball was like leading in the top 10 ? Did you guys see Brie Ellis and her average with Arkansas ? Have you guys seen that girl ? If they're hitting 500 , they're feeling half the time . So the best athletes know how to bounce back .
So one of our athletes , lila I love Lila's story . Again , we feature a lot of pitchers . Box breathing has helped us with more than just softball . I use it for all of my kids . The fearless warrior program not only helps with your daughter's mental game and softball , but it also gives them tools to use in everyday life .
So it's like how do you take these skills and use them in the softball field and beyond ? Remember the buckets we talked about ? Last one , my athlete worries that she's not good enough and she's afraid to let her team down . Yes , yeah , maddie Brown says it's less after going through the program . Yeah , we have lots of warriors on the call tonight .
Yeah , um , this is . I wasn't planning on doing this , but how many of you guys , if you could pick your biggest fear , who are you most afraid to let down ? Is it your parents , your coaches or your teammates ? Who are you most afraid to let down ? Haley , you got to pick my coach , my mom , mom , mom , who are your moms in the room ?
My coach , my coach , my parents , teammates , my team , yeah , and so everybody's journey is a little bit different . But what if you didn't have to worry about that as much ? Mom or coach Some of you guys have ? Some of you guys have your mom as your coach . Who has that ? I can't even imagine .
My parents didn't know enough about softball , and so I love this from Lisa . She's a warrior parent . She said Maddie believes in herself more and is helping her execute hits in pressure situations . Remember we talked about in those pressure moments , can your bucket hold the water ? And she's bringing in RBIs for her team .
This time last year she was struggling with that and now her confidence is so much better . These are all warriors inside our programs . So here's the buckets , here's your review , you guys . So here's my question Does she know how to fill her own confidence bucket ? This is for parents . Does she know how to fill her own confidence bucket ?
Two , does she know how to hold water in her bucket when pressure hits , aka game day ? And last , can she carry this bucket with her beyond the softball field ? You guys , I will say this so I'm blue in the face . I don't care as much about your success on the softball field as much as I care about your success as humans , truly .
Also this amara , what's the new heart ? This is like the new way to like , signal a heart .
Yeah , you like put your finger on top of your thumb you guys know this I just found this out for my students last week anyone know that , type me , or yes , in the chat , if you guys are up with the trends , we try to stay up with the trends to be cool for you guys . So , again , this is for parents .
This is kind of the question that we want to pose for you guys . So , again , this is for parents . This is kind of the question that we want to pose with you guys . Is you showed up for mental skills challenge week ? You , you showed up , you took the time to do it , and so now my question is is do you want to keep this momentum ?
So the question I have for you is one can you find 15 minutes per week ? I don't know if your , your parents , are around . I see some parents . Right , we have to ask ourselves these honest questions Can you find 15 minutes per week ? Remember , at the beginning of this , I asked you guys how many hours you were spending a week a month . Right ?
I'm hoping I can get some yeses and some me's right ? Number two do you want a mental performance coach in her corner ? Access to coaching for every month . We're going to talk about this inside fearless warriors . I have been told that I'm crazy , but those of you guys that are in fearless warriors . You get access to calls for life .
Some of you guys have been warriors for three years now . This is the last time that we can do lifetime access and you can lock that in there . All of our calls are uploaded and recorded . And then number three does she have big goals or do you guys want to have fun trying to move the chat around , even if you don't have plans to play in college ?
I want you to have the techniques and tools for true confidence . Who wants that ? I know you guys all want that
¶ The Confidence Bucket Framework
Ages 10 to 18 and just simply play with more joy and fun , because if it's not fun , why are we doing it ? Just saying so ? If you answered yes to all three of those , here's my plea to you guys .
I know we're giving away a bat tonight , so if you're willing to spend $500 on a bat , I can solve this frustration once for all , with less nagging from parents , with less tears and , eventually , less expensive lessons . So hear me out . What would it feel like , girls , if you didn't have to go to as many pitching ? How many times ?
I would love to know this , because I've already gotten the text . I don't give pitching lessons in the summer . As a pitching coach . I probably have about 12 clients left . That really dwindled down . I used't give pitching lessons in the summer as a pitching coach . I probably have about 12 clients left . I've really dwindled down .
I used to do pitching lessons full-time . Anytime someone asks for a brush-up lesson , I would much rather have you guys figure this out , because they have the mental tools . How many of you guys have texted an instructor of like , oh , I need a fixed lesson or I need a brush-up lesson ? Do you guys do that ? Is that a thing ? Okay , yes , that's a thing .
I'm not the only pitching coach . I feel bad turning my athletes away , right , and so what if you parents , what if you could spend less money on lessons , that things were clicking faster , she was enjoying the game more ? I would love that for all of you guys , and that's exactly why I created the fearless warrior program .
So I'm going to take a few minutes to talk about this . I know we got some warriors on the call , so if you want to chime in and put your two cents on this , I'm going to briefly walk you guys through , because I care so much about this and the momentum that you have built . If I'm not the right resource for you .
There are plenty of resources out there , but I'm proud of this resource and how many families it's helped . We've had over 800 families in our program , and so what is it ? If you haven't had a chance to look , amara , do you have the link as well ? We're gonna do some special surprises . If you enroll tonight , we're gonna bring back some bonuses .
I'm gonna talk about that as well . The long story short is that you get access to a learning portal , which is where I teach you the 12 mental skills that we talked about this week . You get access to me every month as your mental performance coach , and then we also have an amazing community .
We bring in mentorship calls , which we have one coming up this Thursday , and we have brought in some really amazing people . That's Jesse Warren in the video , taryn Kern , jordy Ball , janie Reed .
I mean there are so many athletes that really want to show you guys what's possible , and we don't ask people to come be guest speakers unless we know that they have done mental training . All three of these women , all four of these women , and all of our mentorship calls , we vet them .
We make sure that they understand what mental skills are before they come speak to you guys . We vet them , we make sure that they understand what mental skills are before they come speak to you guys . So the learning portal you guys can see that . If you go to that link , I kind of walk you through what it looks like .
You can see behind the scenes Each mental skill lesson . If you do one lesson a week , you can graduate in 12 weeks . It's less than a hitting lesson , less than a pitching lesson , and you get access to all of my resources . Normally on our website it's 997 . It's not that . So hang tight . These are the 12 skills that we teach .
This is also on our website . These are the 12 skills that I believe all athletes should have the big six type , yes , or me in the chat . Who remembers the big six that we talked about this last week ? Yes , everybody should at least have the big six . I also teach an additional six , yeah . So I took some screenshots .
These are there's Noah right there in the middle . These are warriors that on our 12th call when they're ready to graduate . We used to
¶ Fearless Warrior Program Overview
do cohort style . We don't do that anymore . I grabbed what their biggest takeaways were . So this is also on the enrollment page . Um , and my question to you is . What could your daughter's big breakthroughs be ? And if you're a warrior on the call , you get to go back through this . You have lifetime access to this . Again , you'll have access to me .
Um , what we're doing is we do bi-weekly calls , so every other week you have access to come on a call , ask me questions , tell me what's frustrating you . Maybe you have a specific situation .

This is your next best thing is you have access to fearless warriors . Some of my one-on-one clients will actually come on these calls before they use their one-on-one calls . Did you guys see any of yourselves in that screenshot ? This is Ashlyn . I love her story . You know we talked about that mass . Remember that mastercard commercial batting gloves $29 .
Hitting lesson $45 . Bat $500 . Confidence of the plate priceless . Ashlyn's goal before she came into the fearless warriors was she had not hit her first . Over the fence home run type , yes . Or me in the chat who's like really hungry and has not gotten that goal yet and it's on your list . You want that . Over the fence home run yes , a lot of you guys do .
That's what that's . What's possible is that when you take your physical skills and the mental skills and you put them together I love ashlyn's story , so I had fun making that little graphic for you . Here's some guest speakers that we had . I know that this is a big thing . Um , we used to charge for these . This is also included .

So if you guys have listened to the podcast and you guys hear these interviews , instead of just listening to those interviews on the podcast , you get to come and hang out with these mentors , like they get to meet you and see you on a zoom , which is really really cool , okay .

You'll get additional access to the assessment and since we've only had three people enroll in the program . That means that we still have two more spots to get a bonus one-on-one call at no cost when you enroll in the fearless warriors , but the deadline for these bonuses are tonight only .
So , if this is something that you've been thinking about , I don't know if my warriors that are currently in the program could could hop in and chime in , but this is huge , because I don't give these away .
