If you were the girl who learned that being a “good athlete” meant shutting up, playing hurt, and never letting anyone see you scared… hi. I’m talking to you.
I was a 4-year varsity pitcher, 2× Michigan Division I All-State athlete, and 2× USSSA World Series medalist.
I also learned really young to confuse being good with being perfect.
No-hitter? Good.
Win? Good.
Hurt? Keep playing.
Scared? Don’t show it.
Something feels wrong? Figure it out later.
That s**t follows you.
Now I’m back in softball as a coach and work professionally in sport science + female-athlete performance, and I care a lot less about whether an athlete can “tough it out” and a lot more about what is happening underneath the performance.
Because she can smile.
She can play.
She can win.
She can still not be okay.
And I do not want another girl learning that being a good athlete means ignoring her body until it breaks.

If you played softball, or any sport, and this feels a little too familiar, you’re exactly who I want here.

Part 3.
When people ask why I didn’t play college softball, the answer doesn’t start when I was 17 or 18.
During my second year of 12U, my mom was diagnosed with stage-four colorectal cancer and given six months to a year to live.
I was 12. I didn’t understand what was happening. I just knew that life became hospitals, treatments, tests, school and softball.
So I did what I knew how to do. I swallowed everything and kept playing.
Softball became one of the most important things in my life. It also became somewhere I could hide from everything happening outside of it.
And then the injuries started.

Most people come in thinking I’m going to watch a few reps, point out what’s “wrong,” and hand them some exercises.
That’s not what I do.
I want to know how your body has been solving movement over time.
What changed after an old injury?
What keeps taking over?
What feels “off” even though the exercise looks fine?
What happens when I change your setup, position, cue, or task?
Then we test it.
We adjust.
We retest.
And we use your response to figure out what actually makes sense for your body.
That’s what my 90-Minute Comprehensive Assessment is for. $399

If you’ve ever thought, “I can do the movement, but something about it still doesn’t feel right,” this is exactly the kind of s**t I want to look at.

I wasn’t a kid who just liked softball.

I was a starting pitcher, a backup first baseman, All-Conference, 2× Michigan Division I All-State, and a 2× USSSA World Series medalist.

By 18U, I was surrounded by girls signing to play college softball.

So yes, when someone asks why I didn’t play in college, I understand why the question comes up. On paper, I had the résumé.

But the résumé only tells you what everybody else could see.

It doesn’t tell you what had been happening behind the scenes to that athlete since she was 12.

And that is where the actual story starts.

No, I didn’t play college softball.

And for a long time, that question came with another one: why?

Why, after spending so much of my childhood pitching, playing travel ball, competing at a high level and building so much of my identity around being an athlete, did that part of my life stop?

There isn’t one clean answer. There usually isn’t. Athlete stories get compressed into really convenient explanations: she quit, she wasn’t good enough, she lost interest, she got hurt, she burned out.

Real life is messier than that.

Mine definitely was.

And understanding that story has a lot to do with why I care so much about the girls I coach now.
More of this story coming. 🥎

Everyone sees the moment the athlete gets hurt.

What they don’t always see is what comes after: the diagnosis, the rehab, the first practice back, the first time she has to make that same movement again, and the pressure to act like she’s completely fine because she’s technically been cleared.

An athlete can be back on the field and still not feel like herself.

Returning from an injury is a process not a finish line.

I’m wearing pink this weekend at for my dear friend .tozer

Lindsay has been one of my people since I got moved to the middle of absolutely nowhere in western Michigan my freshman year of high school. 😂

We were both touched by cancer way too young. We both lost our moms while we were still kids. And then cancer came back for us again, this time with Lindsay’s breast cancer diagnosis.

A while back, Lindsay sat down with us on UpLift Women’s Wellness and talked about what breast cancer, a double mastectomy, reconstruction, recovery, grief, body image, and everything that comes after actually looked like for her.

She talked about how strange it can feel when everyone wants you to be positive when sometimes what you really need is somebody willing to say:

“Well, that sucks.”

And sit there with you.

So while takes the field in pink this weekend, I’m bringing a little piece of that conversation back with me.

This one’s for Lindsay.

And for our moms. 💗🥎

She hadn’t been able to run since the beginning of the year because of significant knee pain. Eventually, it wasn’t only hurting when she ran. It was aching when she wasn’t running too.

Today, instead of only asking “where does it hurt?”, we went backward through her history and looked at how her body had learned to solve movement over time.

One thing that stood out: a TFL injury after the Pittsburgh Marathon almost 15 years ago. That does not mean one old injury explains everything happening now. But it gave us a working hypothesis.

We changed the strategy her body was using.

Watched the response.

Adjusted again.

Retested.

Then we put running back in.

10 seconds on. 10 seconds off. Pain-free during that exposure.

One pain-free run does not mean we magically fixed a 15-year history. It means her body gave us better information.

That’s the s**t I care about.

Most people see the rep. I watch how you built it. The Body Underneath the Skill.

Softball gave me some incredible things.
It also taught 12-year-old me some things I’ve spent a very long time trying to unlearn.
Somewhere along the way, being good became being perfect.
The result mattered.
The stat line mattered.
The accomplishment mattered.
And eventually, I stopped knowing where Bethany the person ended and Bethany the pitcher began.
I don’t regret being competitive. I don’t regret wanting to be great.
But I care a whole lot now about what we teach girls that greatness is supposed to cost them.
That’s a big part of why I came back to softball.
Discipline matters. Preparation matters. Excellence matters.
So does the human underneath all of it.

Doing the exercise is not the same thing as getting the training effect we actually wanted.

That’s the s**t I care about.

Where are you starting the movement?
What takes over first?
What are you avoiding?
What changes when I move you an inch, change your setup, or give you a different job?

Sometimes the exercise isn’t wrong. Sometimes your body just found a very creative way to complete the assignment. 😂

Most people see the rep. I watch how you built the rep.

If something in your training has always felt a little “off,” that’s exactly what I dig into in my 90-minute comprehensive assessment.
