With another incredible season for the Oklahoma Sooners, Jocelyn Alo earned her second consecutive USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award. She’s the fifth player to win the award in consecutive seasons, and, heading into the Women’s College World Series, Alo’s put together a career that has her in consideration as one of the best of all time.
But she hasn’t gotten there through sheer talent, though she’s incredibly talented and has been from a young age. Alo has put in the work to become the best player in softball.
In the web series No Days Off from Whistle, Alo shared what sets her apart as a hitter is the reps she put in as a kid with her dad and the film work she does on her opponents and on herself.
“When I was 4 years old, I would ask my dad to take me to go hit, and we would hit 1,000 balls every night just for fun.”
