This is the last episode of the Alpha Girl Confidence Podcast. It's been a fun 5 years, but the time has come to shift and move in a different direction. In this episode I talk about why I'm stopping the podcast and offer my sincere gratitude for being a supporter and listener of the podcast.

In today’s episode I share key takeaways that I've compiled from coaching a professional team's open tryouts, including: * The importance of your energy and attitude * Your interactions with coaches and teammates * Responding to mistakes * Being willing to play different positions I know it may not be tryout season for most, but make sure to take notes as these crucial intangibles can make a significant impact on your results during tryouts.
