So you already have an advantage if you can use it to move forward and to grow." "It's one thing not to know what to do and it's another not to receive advice on what to do." "It is very important to think how we respond, how we receive things and are we willing to learn from our mistakes." "There are core characteristics that we carry and it can just impact us in a positive way." "The actual definition of happiness is happenstance. It's dependent upon the situation. So if things are good, then I'm happy. If they're bad, I'm not. Joy, on the other hand, is an active choice. You can be in the midst of the worst stuff that's happening in your entire life and still have joy." "Failure prepared me because it opened more opportunities." "We really need coaches in all different aspects of our lives. And even if it's not a paid coach, we need those people that are leading us and guiding us."

The greatest of all-time debate is something that never stops raging amongst sports fans. Like any true debate - in order to even crown a title like that - you must first set the standards - and thats usually where the conflict begins. Is it based on championships? Today's guest has won two world championships, three national championships, and three olympic gold medals. Or is it based on personal accolades? She is also a top-50 athlete in California history all-time, A three-time first-team all-American, a 3-time first-team academic all-American, a University of Arizona Hall of fame honoree, a national softball hall-of-fame honoree, and she holds the record for a batting average in a single college world series tournament, having hit .750. While that resume, along with a selection to ESPN's Greatest of all time softball team, probably qualifies our guest as a GOAT - we believe the true definition of that title comes not just from accolades, awards, and performance, but the type of person that you are - and our guest today has the resume to back that up too.Our guest today, Leah O'Brien Amico, is one of the most prolific softball players of all time.
