Coach Dot Richardson is the head softball coach at Liberty University and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. Dot was voted by the NCAA as the Player of the Decade for the 1980s and was a pioneer in the sport of softball. However, when Dot was growing up she faced many obstacles and discrimination for being a girl. She was even told she could ONLY play baseball, if she cut her hair short, and went under a fake name to disguise herself as a boy! As you will hear, she has some incredible stories to share with Kevin + Steph including: – Playing on a women’s softball team…at the age of 10! – Secretively trying out for the first Olympic softball team in history while attending medical school…and getting caught. – Hitting the very first home run in Olympic history at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta. – How she became the head coach at Liberty University instead of pursuing a political career. – Dot gives Kevin + Steph a virtual tour of the new softball stadium that she helped design. Dot’s journey to becoming a coach and the impact she has had on the lives of her athletes at Liberty University will resonate for generations. She emphasizes the importance of embracing who we are and not hiding our talents. For any parent with a daughter, this is a must-listen! Brought to you by Luebbe Companies.
