Inside Her Winning Mindset
Abigail Atkinson, a rising softball pitcher, is redefining what strength truly looks like in the circle. For Abigail Atkinson, the game has always been a constant—an outlet, a passion, and a huge part of her identity. But as the stakes grew higher and the pressure began to mount, Abigail Atkinson found herself carrying more than just the weight of the ball. What once felt like home started to feel heavy.
The physical demands of pitching were nothing new—but the mental and emotional challenges were. In a sport where every pitch can change the outcome, Abigail Atkinson struggled with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the quiet battles that too many athletes face behind the scenes. That’s when Abigail Atkinson turned inward and upward. In this Extra Inning Softball feature, Abigail Atkinson opens up about her journey through mental health struggles, her return to faith, and the power of the offseason grind.
