“Born Ready”: The No’s, Heartbreak & Faith Behind Aubree Munro Watson’s Olympic Journey

Olympian and two-time National Champion Aubree Munro Watson returns to the podcast to talk about her new book, Born Ready: Making the Most of the Moments That Mark Our Lives. Aubree shares the “Born Ready moments” that shaped her journey — from being the quiet one and hearing “no” from coaches she respected, to heartbreak, tested faith, national championships and ultimately the Olympic stage. This conversation is a powerful reminder that sometimes the moments that feel like setbacks are actually preparing us for what’s ahead.Grab her book “Born Ready” - https://www.aubreemunrowatson.com/born-ready Follow Aubree on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aubree1munro Learn more about the Virtual Hitting Academy VIP Program - https://www.ashleybtraining.com/virtual-hitting-academy-2-0 Write a review of this episode on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/when-the-cleats-come-off/id1525612274 Watch this interview on YouTube! - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmey7_LOSN8tSia6gcWqtIzTTyTDpOodrIf you liked this episode, you’ll enjoy these, too:Ep. 32 - Part 1 with Aubree Munro Watson: The Selflessness of Catching and the Road to the Olympic Dream - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/7a2f1190-3519-4ceb-80c6-2df064743606/ Ep. 33 - Part 2 with Aubree Munro Watson: Leadership Behind the Plate, Identity Struggles, Athletes Unlimited and Church on the Dirt https://player.captivate.fm/episode/ffc62081-d4a1-4aac-b4bf-e822d799605f/ Ep. 188 - Aubree Munro Watson: Softball is BACK in the Olympics in 2028 but…in Oklahoma City? https://player.captivate.fm/episode/9f4aaae9-47d4-4e4d-ac31-57eaf1a223de/ ✨ Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!Let us know inside the When the Cleats Come Off Facebook Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1073225329733684 Tag @whenthecleatscomeoff on Instagram and share your biggest takeaway!If this episode is one that you loved, let me and others know by:⭐ Leaving a quick review on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/when-the-cleats-come-off/id1525612274 🎧 Subscribing to the show on your favorite platform📩 Sharing it with a teammate or coach who needs this messagePurchase some WTCCO Swag! - https://ashley-b-training.myshopify.com/collections/new-when-the-cleats-come-off-collection Follow and share with me your favorite parts on social media!Website - https://www.ashleybtraining.com/ YouTube - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmey7_LOSN8tSia6gcWqtIzTTyTDpOodr Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ashleybtraining Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AshleyBurkhardtTraining/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/smashley_4 Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleybtraining
