The final game of the Women's College World Series outdrew the final game of the Men's College World Series in TV viewership.

🥎 Women's: 1.74 million
⚾️ Men's: 1.54 million

Oklahoma's title-clinching win vs. Texas was the most-watched college softball OR baseball game of 2022.

@lilmarifromdast Thanks Mari!! I hope you’re doing well!!

[Alexis Ventarola @AVentarola]

I currently work two jobs, all while starting my own company. I have a patent pending invention and 2 masters degrees. In my very limited spare time, I help at my family’s business.

Thank you Kim. If it wasn’t for you saying this, I would never know that I need to work hard.

Can’t help but look at Joe Burrow and think ‘this is how Macaulay Culkin should’ve grown up to look like if only he had drank more milk’

[Mo Mercado @MercadoMo]

A good chunk of young athletes today really struggle with one thing: SACRIFICE.

You can’t KIND OF sacrifice and be great.
You can’t prioritize leisure activities and social hang outs over practice, games, etc and expect to be the best.

It just simply won’t happen.

Don’t be upset by the results you didn’t get with the work you didn’t do

🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Unsurprisingly, some men are upset over Rachel Balkovec's hiring, so let's talk about her qualifications!

- NCAA Division I catcher
- TWO master's degrees
- Taught herself Spanish to connect better w/ players
- Worked for Cardinals, Astros, Yankees dating back to 2012

Bow down.

In 2019, the NCAA spent $16M on the DI ⚾️ Championship & $6.3M on the DI 🥎 Championship. This $10 million difference is more than the budgetary or spending difference between men’s and women’s championships in any other sport except 🏀.

A reason why I LOVED team sports:

My success was dependent on your success; & your success was dependent on my success

Therefore-you had to do things you didn’t want to-bc they benefited me. And I had to do things I didn’t want to-bc they benefited you

We need more of this

[Sarah Spain @SarahSpain]

An extension of my earlier piece for @OTLonESPN on the unequal treatment of female athletes by the NCAA, with a focus on women’s softball:

[Sarah Spain @SarahSpain]

No showers, instant replay or rest days, and a deal through 2035 with a stadium too small to hold its exponentially growing fanbase.

If this is how the NCAA treats its fastest growing sport, imagine how other women's sports are being held back.

My Parting Shot for @OTLonESPN:

[sam fischer @samfischer52]

dear @espn I was perusing your Instagram and happened to notice there’s zero posts about college softball that millions of people are currently watching on your networks 🙆🏼‍♀️ so weird right??

[Alexis Ventarola @AVentarola]

I decided another 3 days of eating gluten wouldn’t kill me so I went on a gluten bender this weekend. I got all my favorites. I dead ass drove 3 hrs to get pizza.

I will forever miss you gluten. You will always hold a special place in my ❤️

[Alexis Ventarola @AVentarola]

Since being diagnosed with celiac disease on Thursday, I’ve seen myself go through the stages of grief over not being able to eat gluten. Oh there’s the denial. Yup that’s depression. And there’s the anger. Don’t think acceptance is anywhere in sight.

If you could nominate one sports image to hang in the Louvre Museum, what would you choose?

[Alexis Ventarola @AVentarola]

@BuboiDesiree I don’t understand why it’s not hanging in the Louvre already

Strength & Conditioning pros are incredibly underutilized in the musculoskeletal rehab space. If you don't have S&C training as a rehab professional, build relationships with good coaches in the area. #rehab #strength #chiropractor #physicaltherapy
