Two former female athletes in their mid-20s discussing the transition from being lifelong athletes to navigating what comes after. We talk with each other, as well as some amazing guests, about anything and everything that we’ve experienced or struggled with during our time as athletes and throughout “retirement” from our sports- body image, making friends, finding purpose, and discovering new passions, just to name a few. Take a listen as we reflect on our experiences and try to figure out…what comes after the athlete?

Inside “Getting On Base” with Kelly Ford & Carolyn Coal

This week, we’re talking with legendary softball coach Kelly Ford and award-winning filmmaker Carolyn Coal about their powerful documentary Getting On Base. The film follows the Cal State Fullerton softball team through a season that highlights the pay gap, lack of media coverage, and limited professional opportunities for female athletes.

We dive into what’s changed — and what hasn’t — since Title IX, how storytelling can shift the conversation around women’s sports, and the movement this documentary is fueling for women’s professional softball. Enjoy!
