In this episode, Coach Que sits down with Alexa Crosby, a young hooper whose journey is built on bounce-backs. From dominating youth leagues to starting varsity in 6th grade, Alexa has always been ahead of the game—until injury hit. After major knee surgery and unexpected school changes, she was forced to fight for her confidence and rebuild herself from the ground up.
She didn’t quit. She got better. 💪🏽
Alexa opens up about:
How to lead through adversity
Why the underdawg mentality is her edge
The pressure of early success
Giving back as a Rise Up Women’s Sports ambassador
Why helping other girls in the game matters
This is the kind of story that inspires athletes, coaches, and parents alike. 🔥 Press play and discover what it really means to rise again—stronger, wiser, and still chasing the dream.
