Cat Osterman Comeback - This is only the beginning. - a podcast by Lindsay Gardner

  

This is a very special day because this is the first podcast that I have invited a guest to appear on my show! So who do I have in store for you? Well, she is a two-time Olympian, gold and silver medalist, Pro Fastpitch All-Star and 3-time USA National Softball Player of the Year with the Texas Longhorns.  Those of you who know softball know I am talking about the 6’2” lefty out of my hometown, Katy, TX, my longtime teammate, coaching colleague and friend – the one and only, Cat Osterman. She is absolutely one of the most dominating pitchers in the world.  I personally watched her strike out thousands of batters in my 8 years of playing shortstop and second base behind her. She makes every team she plays on better… and not just a little better, championship better.

She will be competing for the 2019 USA Softball team in hopes of competing for the Gold Medal once again in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics. 

While with Team USA from 2001 to 2010, Osterman compiled a cumulative record of 59-4 with a minuscule 0.38 ERA. She amassed 832 strikeouts in 425.2 total innings pitched. (www.si.com)

In 2013, Osterman was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame alongside New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees, former Dallas Cowboys RB Walt Garrison, former NBA Champion Shaquille O’Neal, and former Heisman Trophy winner from UT Ricky Williams. What an incredible group of athletes. 

Today we are going to take a look at Cat’s journey as a young ball player that led to her success and dominance on the mound. We will dig into the mindset she will take into her training as she prepares to lace up her cleats and take the field once again with TEAM USA.
