In this episode, Rusty and Lacie chat with Keirstin Roose about her transfer from Coastal Carolina (CCU) to UGA. She shares her softball highlights and what she's looking forward to with the lady bulldogs. This is a great episode for anyone interested in college softball.
Keirstin takes us from her first swings in T-ball to building a junkyard-inspired rec ball team called the "Little Scrappers" (yes, seriously). You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe cry as she and Lacie bond over growing up softball-tough under the watchful eye of demanding—but loving—dads.
They cover:
Playing through injury (literally on a torn ACL!)
Surviving early recruiting chaos and rule changes
The gritty reality of travel ball life (3AM drives, gas station hot dogs, and all)
Balancing 5 sports, student government, and academics… at a school with 98 kids
Why mental health matters in youth sports—especially after major injuries
Rusty shares behind-the-scenes moments from Lacie’s playing days and draws uncanny parallels with Keirstin's journey. From competitive travel teams to emotional comebacks, this episode is packed with real stories, raw laughs, and relatable lessons for athletes, parents, and coaches alike.
