Of all the U.S. National Teams competing in the Tokyo Summer Olympics, perhaps none feel more urgency than the Women's Softball team. After losing the gold medal game to Japan in the 2008 Games, its sport was removed from the next two Olympiads in London and Rio. When the first game in Tokyo takes place on July 21, it will mark 4,717 days between Olympic softball games. Softball is back — but not to stay. The sport will not be part of the Paris games in 2024. It will likely be included as part of the Los Angeles games in 2028, but how many of these players can afford to wait seven more years? Most won't, especially the few veterans in their 30s who have stuck it out to make it to these games. This is their shot at gold. And of all the U.S. National Teams competing in Tokyo, none provide a bigger rooting interest for Northern California fans. One third of the team's 15-player roster features graduates from Northern California high schools. That includes two members of the team's veteran core we mentioned earlier: Monica Abbott, a 2003 grad of North Salinas High, and Valerie Arioto a 2007 grad of Foothill High in Pleasanton. There's also 2011 Pleasant Grove High grad Ally Carda of Elk Grove, 2013 Casa Roble High grad Ali Aguilar of Orangevale and 2016 Merced High grad Bubba Nickles. We caught up with former coaches of both Arioto and Nickles and asked them to share memories and stories of the two softball stars. Which player would hold her own personal practice for more than an hour after the team's ended? Which one snapped at her coach after being pinch run for? Time to find out. STORYTELLERS: Matt Sweeney, Foothill-Pleasanton Softball Coach (2006-Present) Scott Kabrich, Foothill-Pleasanton Softball Coach (1990-2005) Bart McAfee, Merced Softball Coach (2003-2016)

Valerie Arioto is best known for her tremendous success as an Olympic Athlete and member of the USA Women’s Softball Team, where she won medals in four WBSC World Championships. The same work ethic and contagious positivity that helped her win on the field also led her to start The Integrated Vault, an online community for women. Here, Valerie works with other high performing women on creating balance, boundaries, and even more badassery in their lives. This week, tune in as Valerie and I talk about strength in asking for help, journaling, and letting go of unrealistic expectations.  What You Will Hear in This Episode:  Valerie created The Integrated Vault as a place to help other women with the self-care and body awareness skills she developed throughout her years as an athlete and high performer. As a perfectionist and athlete in the public eye, Valerie helps other women break through the limitations of wanting to be a certain way to please others.  It can be difficult to ask for help and we think we are superwomen, but there is strength in admitting you’re not an expert in every aspect of life.  As women, we can be suppressed, silenced, and expected to go through the motions.  Journaling is a great way to deprogram ourselves from society and get in touch with our inner core.    Quotes:  “I’m really good at asking for help, and I think that’s a good quality to have in life.”  - Valerie  “Although feedback has to be received in sports, to put other people’s opinion before my own confidence and my own clarity is doing myself a disservice.”  - Valerie “I love winning, but at some point you have to separate yourself from results and enjoy the process.” - Valerie Mentioned: Valerie Arioto   @theintegratedvault | @valeriearioto
