About this listen
Former college and professional softball player Emily Alexander joins Untapped Stories to share her unique perspective as both an elite athlete and a youth sports parent. With years of experience on the field and now in the stands, Emily bridges the gap between what young athletes need and what parents often wonder as they navigate practices, clubs, tournaments, and expectations.
In this episode, she opens up about the realities of balancing competition with confidence, helping kids build passion without pressure, and knowing when to step in - or step back. Emily talks about common mistakes well-meaning parents make in youth sports, how to communicate with coaches, and why long-term development matters more than weekend wins.
If you’re a parent new to youth sports, her advice is relatable, reassuring, and incredibly practical. Whether your child is just starting lessons, trying out for travel teams, or dreaming about college athletics, Emily offers guidance that helps families support their athletes the right way - focused on growth, enjoyment, and lifelong love of the game.
