Today my guest is Jennifer McFalls. Jennifer is a South Grand Prairie High school alumni and one of it’s most accomplished athletes. She was a softball player who went on to play for Texas A&M University She then played for the USA Olympic Softball Team as an alternate in 1996, then won the gold medal in the 2000 games in Sydney, Australia. She is now the head softball coach at the University of Kansas. Jennifer talks to me today about how she got into the sport of softball and how it changed the course of her life. She also talks with me about some of the struggles college athletes are going through during this pandemic and how she’s handling keeping a college sports team in the time of COVID-19. This conversation was taped earlier in the quarantine and even though this pandemic has slowed her schedule down for coaching softball, I’m so very grateful it allowed me the opportunity to get some time to talk with her. Jennifer is just one of the nicest, most humble people and I’m so appreciative she took the time so without further ado, here’s Jennifer McFalls.
