By jess

Tuesday, January 14, 2025 – Two trailblazers in sports are coming together to revolutionize the game. The Alliance Fastpitch, the fastest-growing youth softball organization, has partnered with NTangible, the leader in mental fitness assessments, to bring a bold new focus to an often-overlooked part of the game: the mind.
Softball is surging, with participation and viewership at all-time highs. The Women’s College World Series is breaking records, and The Alliance Fastpitch has become a driving force behind the sport’s explosive growth. This partnership with NTangible ensures that as the game grows, so do its players—not just as athletes but as leaders.
“Mental fitness is the difference-maker in sports and life,” said Dan Connerty, CEO of NTangible. “This partnership is about more than softball—it’s about equipping female athletes with the tools to perform under pressure and succeed beyond the diamond. Together, we’re changing the game.”
The Alliance Fastpitch has built a powerhouse network focused on competition, development, and empowerment. With NTangible’s data-driven assessments, the organization is taking athlete development to the next level, giving players and coaches an unprecedented look at the mental side of performance.
“Mental strength is a game-changer,” said Alliance Fastpitch CEO Jami Lobpries. “Partnering with NTangible means we can finally measure it, understand it, and improve it. This isn’t just about winning games—it’s about building resilience and confidence that will carry these female athletes through life. I would have loved to have this tool as a youth athlete to better understand my own mental strength and areas where I could continue to develop.”
NTangible’s cutting-edge technology provides objective, actionable insights into mental fitness—skills like focus, resilience, and clutch performance. Athletes can now see where they excel and where they can grow. Coaches gain deeper insights into their teams, and parents see their children building tools that go far beyond sports.
This partnership doesn’t just raise the bar for softball; it sets a new standard for how women’s sports embrace innovation and development. As Alliance Fastpitch continues to lead the charge for growth in the game, its athletes now have the ultimate edge: a better mind for a better game.
