That optimism and that positivity I think that takes us so much further in life than almost intelligence and money and what people think you need, it's that inner warrior that it sounds like you have to get through some of these cracking open moments in our life that we don't think we can do.
Imagine being the first woman to break into the male-dominated world of sports broadcasting in Portland. That's exactly what Ann Schatz did, and her story is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of 'Cracking Open with Molly Carroll', Ann shares her journey from a supportive childhood to becoming the voice of the National Women’s Soccer League team, the Portland Thorns.
Ann opens up about the incredible support she received from her parents and five siblings, who encouraged her to chase her dreams as an athlete. But it wasn't all smooth sailing. She talks about the heartache of losing her parents and the burden of carrying a deep secret she was afraid to reveal. Despite these challenges, Ann's parents' words—'You can do anything, just be committed'—echoed in her heart, guiding her through tough times.
The episode also touches on the reactions of fans, viewers, athletes, and coaches to this new and non-traditional voice in sports. Ann's story is a testament to resilience and the power of mentorship and connections with other women. She believes that positivity and optimism can take you further in life than intelligence or money.
As she puts it, 'It's that inner warrior that helps you get through life's cracking open moments.'
Whether you're interested in sports, personal growth, or just love a good story of triumph over adversity, this episode offers something for everyone. Settle in and listen to Ann Schatz's remarkable journey and learn how she forged a path for women in sports broadcasting.
