[00:00:00] I am Lisa Crozier and I would say that an uploader is somebody who first of all is healed enough to be able to [00:00:15] look outside of themselves and to use their story and their experiences to touch the world around them. I am honoured to nominate Allie Schroeder, an extraordinary athlete and trailblazer in the world of baseball.
As the first [00:00:30] woman to play in the Canadian College Baseball Conference and a long standing member of Canada's Women's National Baseball Team, Allie continually breaks barriers and inspires countless young girls to pursue their dreams in sports. Her story, [00:00:45] highlighted in the documentary, See Her, Be Her, inspires young girls, including my own daughter, to pursue their dreams in sports.
Allie's dedication and resilience make her a powerful role model in the fight for gender equality in athletics. [00:01:00] Welcome to the Uplifters podcast where every week we talk to an inspiring woman about how she faces life's inevitable obstacles and finds power and purpose in those [00:01:15] challenges. But it's not often that I get to talk to a 22 year old who has seen and done as much as Allie Schroeder.
Allie is from rural British Columbia, Canada, and she grew up playing small town baseball [00:01:30] before rising to the Canadian national team as a 16 year old. She went on to sign with Vancouver Island University as the first woman to ever play in the Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference. [00:01:45] Today, she holds two World Cup bronze medals for Team Canada.
If that's not enough, in the off season, she works as a wildland firefighter for the British Columbia Wildfire Service. [00:02:00] Allie, You're a badass. Thank you. I have a feeling all of these feats are representative of a badass mindset and so I'm just [00:02:15] so excited to talk about your brain today. So yeah, thank you.
Thank you for having me on. It's an honor to be on here. Absolutely. Tammy Meeks, who nominated you, reached out to the show because of the [00:02:30] inspiration you have given her daughter and the force that you have been in their home as a pioneering young woman who has inspired other young women. And I think that's true for, for so many of the women I get to talk to here.[00:02:45]
But how does it feel to hear that you're a topic of conversation at dinner tables for little girls who want to go and do big things? For me, it's like a full circle moment realizing that all the work that I've put in is [00:03:00] paying off because at the end of the day that's the goal of everything that I'm doing is like to be able to pave this path for young girls like Tammy's daughter and I mean essentially for me on a broad scale as I kind of gain I guess some popularity as an athlete.[00:03:15]
And for what I stand for, the most meaningful moments are coming from my hometown and like hearing little girls in small town, British Columbia, realizing that there are no limitations for them as a woman. They can do absolutely [00:03:30] anything that they want to do. And the fact that they're able to use me as a mode of inspiration for that is just like so huge for me.
And at the end of the day, that's like what it's all about. Yeah, I think we all need those proof points in order to overcome whatever [00:03:45] challenges and limitations we have in our own minds. And those can be, you know, everything from, you know, my parents never worked in a company or never owned their own home or went to college, right?
Like, those are very real obstacles and until we see someone do these [00:04:00] things and we expand our own sense of what's possible, it's really tough. to imagine that we can do or be different. So who was that force for you? And what was the conversation like at your dinner table as a kid? You know, I think because [00:04:15] I am in such a male dominated sport, I really didn't have any females in that sport.
And I'm asked this question a lot, and truly, when I jog my memory, like, it's all male athletes that I would have been looking up to. But somebody that I always come back to is my mom. [00:04:30] She also works in the wildfire industry, which is male dominated. It's not necessarily the, uh, Gender hurdles that my mom's had to overcome but more so just like we talked about the badass mindset My mom is a complete [00:04:45] badass and her resilience is like so motivating.
I've seen her go through struggles in life just like anybody would face and the way that she deals with it is so resilient and so driven to You know what? She's working towards and I had [00:05:00] that from the time. I was a little girl until now What did these acts of bravery and resilience look like? What did she show you or tell you about how to manage external resistance?
I think that the biggest thing is just like [00:05:15] be emotionless. Like you cannot show, especially as a woman in sports or like a male dominated work industry, you cannot react to things. You can always control your emotions and how you respond to [00:05:30] hardships. And the greatest way that she's shown me to do that is just hold your head high, stay stern.
This goes for like times of like great accomplishment and also times of great hardship. Like your emotions stay the same throughout that you don't [00:05:45] like show anything. And so that's been a huge piece for me on the baseball field for sure, but definitely in the workplace, like just showing like no weakness.
This is so interesting because so often I have female leaders [00:06:00] on here and their big realization was to lead from a place of emotion. So I'm trying to sort of reconcile this in my mind right now, like how do both of these hold true? Because I'm sure you have emotion. [00:06:15] Absolutely. And I mean, I've played in two World Cups now, and emotion is so high in those settings in international baseball.
Like, you win really big, and honestly, sometimes you lose really big. I'm a pitcher, and so pitching in [00:06:30] baseball is like, you absolutely do not want to show any emotion. It's like being a gambler in that way, I guess. It's exactly like being a gambler, yeah, and you know, you show emotion and the batter's just going to build off of that, but that being said, very important to celebrate wins [00:06:45] with your team.
That's so interesting. And I think maybe part of what you're doing, and you tell me this is true or not, is you're making it not about you. Because I think there is a difference between emotion about our own self doubt and fear [00:07:00] and emotion that is about desire and ambition and goals. Absolutely. No, I agree with that for sure.
And I mean, I think that comes for me in a mode of [00:07:15] like, when I was younger playing baseball, I showed too much emotion and that, um, Manifested itself in like a form of self doubt, like I was very not confident in myself at all. And so I think now when I reflect on [00:07:30] that and I'm at where I'm at now in my career, resilience comes from knowing that I have so much confidence in myself and my abilities now that I don't need to show the negative side of emotion on the field per se.
Yeah. So tell me about that [00:07:45] shift in belief. Okay. Thanks. When I was really young, I mean, I made the national team extended roster for the first time when I was 15 and then 16 on the actual roster. And so I was put in some pretty big spots when I was young and [00:08:00] not fully mentally developed like as an adult athlete yet, but I'm on the field with a bunch of adults.
So at that phase of my life, I was questioning a lot of opportunities I was getting like, am I really the right person for this? And then I get put in the game and then. [00:08:15] One error, one mistake later, I'm like, okay, so I wasn't the right person for that. But now, coming back into my career, and I relate this to my workplace as well, mistakes are going to happen, honestly, bad games are going to happen, and it's really just the way it [00:08:30] is.
And I'm so thankful to have played with such things. influential players at that time that were adults while I was still a kid That were able to kind of like take me under their wing and be like girl. Why are you freaking out right now? Like it's okay [00:08:45] Um type of thing because now I get to be that person for other girls on our team, which is so important for me Wow, that is really cool.
And it's, I think about learning versus losing in that equation. Absolutely. Yeah. And I mean, [00:09:00] it would have been easy enough for me to still be in that mindset where I was then now and just not made any changes. That was probably one of my first big learnables in life was like, okay, you need to, you know, Calm down a little bit and then [00:09:15] after I got over that hurdle, it's like anything now is like, okay.
Yeah Yeah, I see where there is place where I can change and maybe just be a little bit better And that's not a big deal at all because those are things that absolutely everybody goes through when we want to Live [00:09:30] in a world where we are Progressively getting better, like you, Allie, and showing up to do really hard things.
That is what we want to cultivate in ourselves, the growth mindset. And that really is, it's the difference between I'm [00:09:45] taking my challenges, my failures, as a judgment or as a proof point. That word comes up for me so much with you because you are this proof point to little girls who say, Oh, I can do hard things.
And sometimes our proof points are internal and sometimes they're external. [00:10:00] Hopefully we have both. But you're saying in moments of challenge, okay, there is a proof point that, you know, I have something to learn here. And so I'm going to take this like a detective and I'm going to sleuth out what I can [00:10:15] learn from it and where I can apply it so that I get better.
Instead of, I'm bad, I'm a failure, I can't learn, right, because then it's all about you. It's not about the skill. Absolutely. Yeah. And it very much was not [00:10:30] about me making that change. It very much was like I'm not contributing to the team in a positive way when I am like down on myself and like dwelling on one error that I made.
And so that was another realization at a young age that I had to make. And [00:10:45] I was very supported by the people around me, coaching staff and teammates to make that change. But certainly one of the first times I had to be like, okay, this really is not about me. This is about how I can contribute to the team.
I'm playing for a national team. Having that mindset is not benefiting the [00:11:00] people around me or myself. So what kind of change can we make here? But like you said, making it a positive thing, like what kind of change can I make that's gonna benefit the team later? And I didn't realize that at the time as a 15 year old, but What kind of change can I make that will also benefit me [00:11:15] like outside of sport as well?
And what I'm also taking from what you're saying right now that I want to reinforce here is that we are never our best selves when we are in that self doubt space. When we're in the learner's space, absolutely, when the [00:11:30] grower's space, sure, but when we're in the self doubt space, it's just such a distraction and a waste of energy because it, it is a victimization.
Absolutely. And I think waste of energy is a great way to put it. Like, the time that I spent [00:11:45] doubting myself, even though. I very much had skills to be on the national team and like recognizing that I deserve to be there was definitely time wasted dwelling on that but coming back to it as an adult once again I'm like okay I'm glad that happened [00:12:00] because I've grown into the woman I am now and taken the skills that I learned from that situation into workplaces and social spaces outside of sport which is so important because I mean you Take things away from sport, even if you just played through [00:12:15] high school or anything, you very much develop skills and abilities in sport and through sport that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
I think that's so cool. I'm actually reading, do you know Alexi Papas, the Olympic runner? I do. I'm [00:12:30] reading her, her memoir right now and she talks about her Richard Link later. The filmmaker gave her this advice because he had been a pro level baseball player before being, uh, world renowned filmmaker. And she was [00:12:45] talking to him and he said, everything you learned in running is what you need to be an excellent filmmaker.
And it's exactly what you're saying. Um, as somebody who never played any sports, I guess I got to learn that stuff through, through theater. Right? [00:13:00] Through being in community. And I think that's really the takeaway for me is it's like whatever skills we develop in one area, whatever resilience we develop in one area is a wildly worthy investment of our energy because we can apply it in every [00:13:15] domain.
So how do you use what you learned in sport to fight fires or even in your social life or in business as you said? Yeah, I think that. I mean, just like thinking about the social piece right now. I was never [00:13:30] really a social kid because I played so many sports. My social circles were the people that I was playing sports with, but I didn't really branch out beyond that.
So having that patience piece that I learned through sport and like, I mean, nothing comes fast in sport. Honestly, [00:13:45] it's always a progression of developing skills. So, I mean, having that patience, I've definitely taken it into my workplace. There's a lot of hurry up and wait in wildfire and you work like my crew is 20, 22 other people and you're [00:14:00] with them for 14 days at a time.
Before getting three days off and then you're back on for 14. So that patience is so important and just realize that recognizing the different spaces that people are in, because we do work very demanding job. And having that patience with [00:14:15] other people around me, as opposed to it's easy enough to get snappy and like impatient.
I know that I need to be patient in these situations, but I think biggest thing that I always think of is work ethic. So that's something that I've really brought into [00:14:30] my job in Wildfire is like, honestly, the unfortunate reality of it is that like, there are men that are going to carry more things than I am.
Then being a 5'5 woman is going to carry it at one time, right? But it's recognizing where you can fit in otherwise to be patient. [00:14:45] Benefiting the crew in the situation and working to your own strength, which in baseball, you need to work to your own strength to contribute to the win of the team. But beyond anything like the resilience, being a woman in a male dominated sport from the time I was a [00:15:00] kid, the things that people would say to me and like that my parents would hear in the stands, it was just ridiculous, super ridiculous.
And so coming into Wildfire now, kind of a different way to look at It's funny, a lot of ex college [00:15:15] athletes and like, or just um, ex athletes end up working in my workplace. And it's just like the direct correlation between the two that you're essentially working on like a sports team, like 22 people is like a sports team.
And you have the same [00:15:30] goal, and you have like a timeline or like, Um, like action plan as to how you're going to meet that goal. And so I relate that very much back to sport. So interesting and makes so much sense. You talk about the voices, [00:15:45] the external voices of negativity and doubt and criticism. How do you manage those?
I mean, nowadays, my life looks a little bit different because I like [00:16:00] And I'm like, come back to adversity in sport. And I'm like, Hey, this is, it's fine. There's nothing at stake. Like there was two weeks ago when I was on the fire line. Right. But certainly when I was younger, there were teams that [00:16:15] my parents were aware of.
That if I were to show up to that game, there might be issues. And kind of the name calling from a young age. And I'm grateful that my parents never told me anything that they heard in the stands when I was that young, but I mean, they [00:16:30] certainly heard things from other parents, not happy that I was the only girl on the field, which is ridiculous.
I was like 10 years old. And I mean, it's such a tough one because I know girls that are playing professional baseball now in the States, and [00:16:45] they are my age or older, and they still get these things. And probably even worse now with social media. Women shouldn't play baseball, women are ruining baseball, those types of things.
I kind of come back to my job when I see those things because I'm like, this is [00:17:00] ridiculous. Like, you're, you know, Sending a text or a comment from behind the screen. I'm at work and we just got called to a wildfire. So unfortunately I don't have time for you right now. So I'm grateful to have that. But certainly I [00:17:15] think it just built my resilience even more.
Something my dad told me when I was really young was like, Uh, you can't react when the batters are saying something to you or they're calling you names. You can't react because if you feed into that, it's just [00:17:30] going to keep going. And so I think that's really where it all stemmed from. And now I realize that it's okay to have more emotion than that.
But when I was young and the only girl on a small town baseball field, it was like, don't feed into it. Don't give them two cents. Just keep [00:17:45] going. Usually it stopped when I did that. After, my dad had told me that was a hard bullet for me to bite. Because I'm like, what do you mean? I just love baseball. And I'm playing with all my best friends.
And Now, like, suddenly people aren't happy that I'm playing. [00:18:00] I think the lesson in that for all of us is to know what we care about and what we really prioritize and not let these distracting stories and voices get in the way of us doing and being what [00:18:15] we really genuinely care about because that's what's happening there.
When we listen to these negative voices, we're letting them own our story. I realized that, okay, it's unfortunate, and I'm dealing with stuff [00:18:30] that people should never have to deal with. But, maybe if I go through this and I pave this trail and I relate this back to like, signing with Vancouver Island University and being the first girl to go that way.
Maybe, Just maybe the girls that come after me will [00:18:45] have a more normalized environment for them to play baseball in, and they won't face this. So, I mean, I think that goes for a lot of the women that are playing baseball now, is that our goal is that these trails that we blaze are gonna be [00:19:00] easier for girls to find a space where they're comfortable playing baseball.
And sure enough, it might be with a whole bunch of boys, but as long as they don't have to deal with the criticism and discrimination that we did. Yeah, I think the thing you're doing here too, again, that we can all look to as a [00:19:15] lesson is this idea of external purpose. So again, it's not just about you and your goal.
It's about what does this mean beyond you? It's so much more energizing to know that our actions are an [00:19:30] investment. Absolutely, and that just made me think of a time like I, when I grew up playing baseball in a small town called Fruitvale, B. C. The population is maybe a thousand people, maybe, but had a baseball team and a hockey team.
And I was [00:19:45] very much the only girl, like, didn't even hear of any other girls playing baseball. But now when I return to my hometown for events and there's baseball tournaments and I went to watch the Little League team a couple years ago and there was maybe four girls [00:20:00] playing for the team that I used to play for.
They are probably not even thinking twice about the fact that they're the only group of girls there. All they know is that, oh, they're on the baseball team and they have a couple of their friends with them as well. So, it's a small scale type of thing, just focusing on my [00:20:15] hometown, but it means so much to me because that's where I started and that's where I want to be creating space for these girls.
It's also a really big deal that you did that. And what I mean here is not just that you had [00:20:30] this impact on these girls, but that you were able to reflect back and observe the impact. So often, I think, what ambitious or daring people do is they set milestones and goals for [00:20:45] themselves and they get there and they set the next goal.
And rarely do we build a habit of reflecting on the outcomes and the progress. But it is, you said, it's these little things. It is those tiny measures of success [00:21:00] and evidence that we are making an investment that's paying off that keeps us motivated and energized to keep going. Have you though ever had a time in your life where Either with sport or firefighting, these two big, hard things that [00:21:15] you choose to show up for over and over again that you thought about giving up.
Absolutely. And I mean, I think there are multiple times throughout my baseball career where I was like, I want to quit. And my parents could like back this up too. Like I was legit, like, I want to quit now. [00:21:30] As a young girl taking it down, like, the comments that would come out of the other dugout. And I mean, I'm looking at guys on my own teams, too, and like, they can hear it, but they're not doing anything about it.
And I'm like, I'm kind of in a vulnerable spot where I'm the [00:21:45] only woman on the team. There would be some games that were just so rough with the heckling and the discrimination. I'd get in the car and I'd say to my dad, I'm done, I don't want to play baseball anymore. I'm grateful that he recognized how much I love it [00:22:00] and how happy it genuinely does make me because he would be like, all right, let's give it like a week.
I know that really sucked. Let's take a little bit and then we can reflect on it as well. But, I mean, now. In my [00:22:15] life, I don't really consider that ever. I'm fresh off a bronze medal win this summer. So the motivation is really high to keep building on that at our next world cup. I think in my adult life and mindset now.
Balancing the national team [00:22:30] sport with fighting wildfires is very difficult, but it's also teaching me a lot of things that I maybe wouldn't have learned as fast otherwise, like caring for myself, sometimes saying no to people, like I'm sorry I can't coach, I need to take the stage for myself and recognize what [00:22:45] I need right now, which I think is just like we come back to the growth mindset, and that's something that has been super important in my life.
I want to hear more about how you take care of yourself because you are so hardcore on so often. I [00:23:00] mean, wildfire, we are seeing more natural disasters and our fire season is getting longer. And like I mentioned, it's 14 days on, three, four days off from May to late September. You are like [00:23:15] redlining on stress all summer, physical and mental and emotional.
So, I've really needed to, like, recognize the little things that I need to do to maintain myself in my sport, but also for fire. Um, with the longer fire [00:23:30] seasons, I do tend to more just be, like, honed in on work, and I'm like, baseball's gonna be there once this is done, but I gotta get through this. So, for me, unfortunately, there's only so much you can do with a job like that, but little things like taking my vitamins.
I don't want to get [00:23:45] sick. When I have the space, which isn't always available to me when I'm on deployment, stretching and bringing a lacrosse ball to roll out with. I'm certainly not going to be training very hard for baseball when I'm on deployment. So recognizing that something very [00:24:00] beneficial that I could do for myself is making sure I don't get injured.
And so focusing on those little pieces, which I think quite often can get overlooked as well as an athlete, you know, you're so dialed in on like heavy lifting and hard 100 percent training sessions have [00:24:15] kind of been my way of taking care of myself. And then you kind of get out of the fire season and it's like, okay, we're cooling down a little bit here.
And that kind of, for me, it looks like I really like cold water therapy. Once again, it's recognizing what I need [00:24:30] in this moment. Which after fire season during fire season is not to go into the gym and lift a bunch of weights It might be to go to a yoga class Or it might just be to stretch and go for a walk with my dog type of thing But [00:24:45] something I always come back that definitely resets me is just spending time with my family And honestly having these conversations with my family as well is very refreshing and it It's really, mentally and emotionally helps reset myself.
I love that. I think one of the things that's coming up for me as I listen to you is I often [00:25:00] ask the question, what is this moment perfect for? And so often we are so wed to the training plan or the way everybody does this that we feel like we don't have an option to grow. [00:25:15] And yet what we hear in your story is, okay, this is not a good time for doing heavy strength training in that way.
So what is strength training in this setting look like? What is injury prevention in this setting look [00:25:30] like? And really making the moment work for you. And this is the thing I think more than anything that I'm taking away from your story is there is this unshakeable commitment to the [00:25:45] highest order priority.
Absolutely, yeah. When I was younger, kind of knocking on the door of the national team, that looked way different for me. I was kind of training myself to burnout, like multiple training sessions a day and I'm like, gotta make this [00:26:00] happen, type of thing. But now where I'm like, Sport is a big part of my life, but I also have a job and have other priorities in my life and learning what my priority list should look like.
And a lot of the time, like, [00:26:15] you come off of super hard deployment or super stressful deployment. Like that looks like, okay, number one, take care of yourself. Let's eat some fresh food. You haven't had that in 14 days. Have a good stress session and see if you can get rid of some of these aches and pains.
Whereas [00:26:30] prior, it would have been like, okay, I just got back. I haven't paid any attention to my baseball career in 14 days. I need to go work out and I need to go to the baseball field right away. Now that I've experienced life burnout as opposed to like an athlete burnout. I'm kind of like, okay That's not what I need [00:26:45] right now.
And I've really never been uh, like in this moment type of person I've always been like long term. This is what I got to make happen for my career and for myself But as I grow up essentially Become more about [00:27:00] list of priorities and okay, there's short term goals too that need to happen And then recognizing the importance now of actually saying, okay, how am I going to make this happen?
You cannot just say that it's going to happen. So I think it comes back to the [00:27:15] growth mindset. You just reframed entirely the meaning of work ethic. So often when we talk about work ethic, as you do, it's really about showing up and going hard all the time. But what we get to take from you is this [00:27:30] way beyond your ears wisdom that a work ethic is much bigger picture.
It is much more strategic. It is about looking long term and saying, what do I need now? And what does this mean for [00:27:45] later? I hosted a retreat this past weekend and walked right into doing a bunch of interviews today and what I really need is to rest and recover, but so many of us, um, and, and I'm sure you see this in [00:28:00] your work as well, we think, ah, I gotta just keep charging forward, but actually we have so much less power with which to charge if we don't rest and restore.
So it's really exciting to hear that you've already learned. How to let yourself [00:28:15] recover for that next big effort. Absolutely. I started recognizing if I take a week off after hard training before I go to an event, I actually play way better at the event. And I prior never would have [00:28:30] even considered that.
It was like, no, I better be training till the day I get on the flight to go to the World Cup. But now I look at that and I'm like, okay, that's, that should really resonate with you for other things as well. Sometimes the best thing you can do is rest. Sure enough, you can [00:28:45] operate at like 45, 60 percent productivity, but like, how productive are you as opposed to taking the one day to rest or taking a few hours to rest and then coming back in your highest capacity productivity type of thing.
I think it's so important, especially in my workplace. [00:29:00] You know, some days, honestly, you are at like 30%. And you got 20 other people to pick you up and that's totally okay. But understanding that's, you cannot sustain yourself like that for 14 days. So if you need to have that day, have that day, get a good eight hours sleep [00:29:15] tonight, but being able to bring yourself back up to a high operating level is something that.
It's so important in sport and my workplace, like I can't emphasize that enough, but it's about honestly getting to know yourself and what you need [00:29:30] because not everybody is going to need the exact same thing in that moment. I think that it's an important thing to get to know yourself in that way.
Incredible. And you have a film coming out? Yeah, so it premiered last night on [00:29:45] MLB Network. It's called See Her, Be Her. I was in LA last weekend for the two events screenings of it. Very exciting. But Gene Kruf, very, very Renowned sports photographer in the States [00:30:00] and Jeff Idelson, the retired president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, had this idea a couple years ago to make a film about women's baseball.
They got seven women from around the world. There's a gal from Uganda, Cuba, South Korea, [00:30:15] Japan, USA, Puerto Rico, and myself from Canada. And they followed us around for like two years and followed our World Cup progression with this huge. But it's finally been released. And it's essentially with the mission of like shining [00:30:30] light on women's baseball and showcasing what women's baseball is around the world and um spotlighting the seven athletes as well that have you know jobs like have struggles being women athletes.
In this world, honestly, and like how [00:30:45] we're growing the game, what we want to see from the game. Incredible. And I sincerely hope that you have lots more spaces and places to share your story with more people. Because [00:31:00] whether we are in sport or very far from it, we We need your mindset. We need to learn how to inherit the resilience of your mother that was passed on to you and that now you are passing on to all of [00:31:15] us so that whatever our playing field is, from a novelist to an industry leader, this is what it looks like to endure a challenge, to face it and turn it into power and purpose.[00:31:30]
And I say all the time that it is my mission to surround myself and to support women who are high impact and high capacity, and in doing so to get to learn how you all do it so that we can all be more high [00:31:45] impact and high capacity. So thank you, Allie, for coming. Thank you very much for having me on.
Like you said, it's about inspiring the next generation. I have women that have inspired me. So my only hope is that I can fit in somewhere in the middle there and be like growing women behind me [00:32:00] as well. Thank you for listening to the Uplifters podcast.
