My next guest for episode two needs no introduction, mainly because to do so would take longer than the podcast interview!
But I wanted to provide a snapshot of what is fast becoming of the most impressive baseball resumes going around, and it is not even close to being complete.
To summarise, as a player she was a collegiate softball player with Villanova, a 4 time World Cup representative for USA Baseball Women’s National Team & won two medals.
As a coach, she took over the Head Coach role of the USA Women’s National Team Coach in 2019 and has been a member of the Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball coaching staff since 2019.
And of course, because she is simply a superwoman, she is a firefighter by trade!
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did with Veronica Alvarez.

G'Day! Welcome to Women’s Baseball - The Inside Pitch.
In the leadoff spot is Australia’s Laura Neads, or Lulu as she is known to most!
Lulu, 31, has been playing baseball for nearly 25 years, with half of it spent in the Australian squad.
In this episode, she tells us about her journey through the sport from a seven-year-old in teeball, to her national team debut, pitching for Australia in a World Cup final, overcoming injuries, and she talks openly about the tragic loss of her best mate, and friend to many of us, Jacinda Barclay.
