Ally Schlegel: Navigating New Experiences

This week Andrew talks with Ally Schlegel. In January, Ally was drafted 23rd overall by the Chicago Red Stars in the 2023 National Women’s Soccer League Draft. Ally is a leader on and off the field. At Penn State, she was a 2x All-American, a 2x team captain, and chaired the university’s Student Athlete Advisory Board. It’s been a whirlwind few months for Ally as she transitions from life as a college athlete to the start of her pro soccer career. Andrew and Ally explored her past few months and what she’s doing to prepare for success at the next level. This conversation is all about navigating new experiences, pushing your limits, and building upon successful habits to achieve even more. It’s filled with lessons for everyone—no matter where you are in your journey. Show Highlights:(2:48) - NWSL Draft experience(3:16) - Not overthinking periods of transition(4:45) - Mental preparation for draft(5:05) - Being okay letting go(7:02) - Starting pro career with college teammate(7:31) - Dialing in the focus(9:50) - The power of having fun(10:59) - Balancing focus and relaxation(12:17) - Car ride with mom to Chicago(15:01) - Experiencing new things(16:16) - Learning during new experiences(17:31) - Embracing new opportunities(18:11) - Humble confidence(20:53) - Creating intentional habits(21:05) - ESP Journaling Method(23:31) - Revisiting fundamental skills(27:05) - Impact of gratitude** Follow Andrew On Social Media **Twitter: @andrewhmosesInstagram: @AndrewMoses123Sign up for e-mails to keep up with Andrew's podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter
