I’m Ashley Burkhardt, a Midwest girl who lived out her dream of becoming a D1 softball player and, later, a professional athlete. SO MANY parents ask me how my parents were able to raise THREE daughters to become D1 athletes, and I truly believe it wasn’t a coincidence. I’m ready to share with you a little bit of how WE did it (from the car-ride home conversations to traveling 4 hours a week to lessons!) and give you some tips and tricks to help your daughter reach her dreams. I’m eager to also share with you interviews with some of the BEST softball influencers, parents and coaches to see how THEY did it...because, just like you, I’m eager to learn how to become the best version of myself, and learning from other people’s journeys is how we can make that happen. Buckle up! This is going to be a FUN ride!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/when-the-cleats-come-off-831444"},"episode":{"title":"10 things I miss most about travel ball","slug":"10-things-i-miss-most-about-travel-ball","published_at":"2025-08-20T07:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/when-the-cleats-come-off-831444/10-things-i-miss-most-about-travel-ball","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/when-the-cleats-come-off-831444","url":"https://ashleybtraining.podbean.com","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/a93e2443-fb66-486f-b053-d3e92bb7e271.mp3","summary":"My first travel softball team is what made me not only fall in love with the game, and it was the people, experiences and competitive environment our coaches helped create. Without such an incredible travel softball culture on my first team and elite National travel team, I truly believe I wouldn’t have pursued it in college AND professionally!  Follow the Indiana Magic Gold Organization - https://indianamagicgold.com/   Leave a review of When the Cleats Come Off on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/when-the-cleats-come-off/id1525612274   Join our When the Cleats Come Off Facebook Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/whenthecleatscomeoff/   Your next episode listen: Ep. 215 - Dad Chats: Coaching experience and practice planning with Scott Burkhardt - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/0aba3293-7c1e-45d8-b6ec-2dfaf813b1d3/   Ep. 206 - Jami Lobpries - Travel ball NEEDS to get back to this - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/0cd3f22c-1944-49f6-b29a-fb4053993197/   Ep. 201 - Kevin Shelton - Texas Glory Founder: From “softball dad” to creating high standards and a premier culture in travel ball - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/f13a60fc-4e3f-4b53-b539-e8897d6e14fa/   Ep. 170 - Kevin Hinde: Breaking the stigma of travel ball - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/f13a60fc-4e3f-4b53-b539-e8897d6e14fa/   Follow and share with me your favorite parts on social media!
