In this candid and inspiring episode of Catching You, Rusty and Lacie Ham dive into what it takes to push through pressure, self-doubt, and tough losses during a grueling college softball season. With just weeks left in her senior year, Lacie reflects on a recent mindset shift—an intentional return to visualization, journaling, and self-affirmation that helped her deliver one of her best outings of the season against Fresno State.
Rusty opens up about his own journey with abundance thinking in his real estate business, drawing parallels between high-level competition and everyday life. The father-daughter duo explore the power of mental training, the importance of being your own biggest advocate, and why sometimes faking confidence can lead to real results.
There’s plenty of laughs, as always—yes, there’s talk of knee-vage, pitching superstitions, and why Lacie’s rise ball still messes with hitters. But at its heart, this episode is about showing up: for yourself, for your teammates, and for the dreams you’ve worked so hard to chase.
They also chat about the unpredictable Mountain West standings, journaling tips for young athletes, and the full-circle moment of re-listening to a year-old episode on legacy—reminding us all how far Lacie has come.
Oh, and did we mention Puerto Rico? You’ll want to hear what’s next for Lacie after the season ends.
👉 Whether you're a player, parent, or fan of the game, this one’s packed with wisdom, real talk, and that signature Ham family heart.
