Today’s guest is Megan Rembielak, a former Division I softball standout at Appalachian State University who has turned her passion for the game into a career developing and inspiring the next generation of athletes.
Megan grew up in a baseball family with a Division I coach as her father, learning early that nothing is guaranteed, nothing is handed to you, and effort is one of the few things you can control.
At Appalachian State, Megan became a four-year starter, earned SoCon All-Freshman, Second Team All-Conference and First Team All-Conference honors, and finished her career among the program’s all-time leaders in hits, at-bats, runs scored and batting average.
But Megan’s story goes far beyond what she accomplished on the field.
After college, she discovered a passion for coaching that eventually grew from a few private lessons into MegRem Softball. Today, she creates instructional content, travels the country conducting clinics, and has built one of the most recognized softball educational platforms in the country. She has also expanded into the equipment business with Rem Pro Sports.
During our conversation, Megan opens up about the highs and lows of being a Division I athlete, the challenges of transitioning out of competitive sports, building a business around something she loves, and why the mental side of athletics can be even more important than the physical.
We also talk about one of the principles at the center of her coaching philosophy: demanding excellence without losing encouragement. Megan believes coaches can expect effort, respect and hustle from their athletes while still creating an environment where young people can grow.
This is a great conversation about effort, preparation, resilience, coaching, entrepreneurship and finding your purpose after the game.
