We brought our partnership with @imgasoftball to life this summer, inspiring youth softball athletes across the country.

With the help of Olympian and IMG Academy’s Director of Softball, Joey Lye, youth athletes participated in offensive mindset sessions, and our IMG Academy Days at the Park brought our softball communities together.

Thanks for a great summer @imgasoftball!
