Balls and Strikes Softball® is a federally registered trademark of the Amateur Softball Association of America © Amateur Softball Association 2012 Visit us on the Internet: www.asasoftball.com & www.usasoftball.com Letter from the President Hello softball fans, thank you for reading this issue of Balls and Strikes maga- zine. This is a very exciting time of the year in the softball world as teams enter the heart of their seasons and some begin preparations for Championship play. Softball is in full swing across the country and even making appearances on ESPN from time to time. Our national teams are putting the final touches on their preparation as they get ready to begin international play. Whether you are a player, coach, umpire or fan, good luck this season and enjoy it! ASA/USA National Championship qualifying tournaments are currently taking place across the coun- try. These National Championships include the highest level of competition in the game and are the pin- nacle of our youth programs. As you prepare for championship play, please make sure all of the paperwork is completed properly and submitted to the host on time as it will make for an easier experience for your team when you arrive to the event. ASA has a great tournament program and it is due to our coaches, players, Commissioners and Junior-Olympic Commissioners taking the time to manage it correctly. The 2012 Women’s College World Series (WCWS) recently came to another successful close at ASA Hall of Fame Complex in Oklahoma City, the National Headquarters of the Amateur Softball Association. The Crimson Tide of Alabama captured their first title defeating Oklahoma in the best-of-three championship series. The record-breaking crowds show that despite its exemption from the Olympics, the popularity of our sport is still growing at a tremendous rate. A total of 75,960 fans came through the turnstiles during the seven days of action, setting an all-time WCWS mark, easily topping the previous mark of 67,631 set in 2011. The record breaking crowds show that despite its exemption from the Olympics, the popularity of the sport is still growing at a tremendous rate. Our USA Women’s National Team recently returned from selection camp where the team’s final roster was named. The 2012 squad is stocked with talented athletes who will look to defend their World Cup of Softball Gold from last year in Oklahoma City, June 27-July 2. Following the World Cup, the team will travel to Surrey, B.C. for the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championships and then on to Whitehorse, Yukon for the ISF World Championships. The 2012 Men’s Slow Pitch National Team will also return to Oklahoma City later this month for the fourth annual Border Battle with the Canadian National Team. In addition to the Border Battle, this year a USA Men’s Slow Pitch Futures National Team will compete against both USA and Canada’s National teams in the days leading up to the Border Battle. All of which will take place in Oklahoma City. Thank you for all that you do and are continuing to do. On behalf of everyone at the ASA good luck for the remainder of your season! E.T. Colvin, President Amateur Softball Association of America Balls & Strikes SoftballMagazine FACES ON THE FIELD Every year, the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America has 365,000 Junior Olympic (JO) athletes playing on more than 78,000 teams while over 1 million adults play on nearly 106,000 teams across the United States. Meet Melanie Firestone, Sasha Margulies, Carolyn Campbell, Morgan Hawkins, Amber Morris, and Hailey Hicks, six of the athletes who play ASA fast pitch and slow pitch. MELANIE FIRESTONE, 10 Gaithersburg, Md. Red Raiders 12U Girls’ 12-Under Fast Pitch P/Infield SOFTBALL GOALS “My goals are to perfect my fastball, to throw more strikes than balls in games, to keep getting better every day, and to make it onto a high school team and then onto a college team.” 6 PROUDEST MOMENT “The toughest obstacle I have had to over- come is trying to be perfect at pitching. I used to get really upset if I didn't do something exactly right and it would mess me up for the rest of the game. Now, I try to reset and just move on after a bad pitch.” ROLE MODELS Kendra Knight from the University of Maryland, Jennie Finch and Dallas Escobedo. SASHA MARGULIES, 17 San Diego, Calif. Fury Softball Girls’ 18-Under GOLD Fast Pitch Catcher/1B FAVORITE THING “Hitting. It's the best part of the game. I Clockwise from top left: Amber think it’s where a softball player's talents really shine and where Morris, Carolyn Campbell, they enjoy the sport the most. Nothing feels better than getting Melanie Firestone, Sasha a clutch hit in a crucial situation.” Margulies. SOFTBALL GOAL “I've grown up watching the NCAA Women’s College World Series on television and wondering how cool it would be to win it all on the national level. Now that I have the fortune of playing for a Division I college softball program (I am committed to Ball State University, where I will play next fall) ROLE MODELS “I've always admired Kristie Fox who played at that’s exactly what I want to work towards. I really want to make Arizona. I honestly don't think there's any other player in our my family proud in the most spectacular way I can, helping my generation who has the knowledge and passion for the game as team to a National Title.” much as Kristie does.” Balls & Strikes SoftballMagazine Do you want to be profiled in “Balls and Strikes Online Softball Magazine” in the future?

He encourages me and motivates me to train hard and be the best pitcher I can be! Another role model is Jennie Finch. I admire her commitment to her Christian faith and her devotion to the sport of softball. I participated in a Jennie Finch training camp in 2009 and it was a great experience for me.” AMBER MORRIS, 15 Lancaster, Pa.

  • EXPLORING the BRAND IDENTITY CREATION of FEMALE ATHLETES: the CASE of JENNIE FINCH and CAT OSTERMAN a Dissertation by JAMI NICO
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Texas A&M Repository EXPLORING THE BRAND IDENTITY CREATION OF FEMALE ATHLETES: THE CASE OF JENNIE FINCH AND CAT OSTERMAN A Dissertation by JAMI NICOLE LOBPRIES Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Gregg Bennett Committee Members, George Cunningham Summer Odom Jon Welty-Peachy Head of Department, Richard Kreider August 2014 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2014 Jami Nicole Lobpries ABSTRACT In the context of human branding, athletes have become viable brands capable of providing empirical support for scholarly and industry endeavors. To add to our conceptual understanding of athlete branding and particularly in the context of female athletes, this qualitative case study investigated the brand identity creation and brand building strategies used by two female athletes, Jennie Finch and Cat Osterman, and their management teams to leverage their brand equity. Further, due to the gendered nature of sport, this case study assessed the perceived barriers female athletes face in the brand building process. Guided by brand identity theory and social role theory, interviews were conducted with Finch, Osterman, three female agents who manage female athletes’ brands, and four softball players from various levels of the softball community. Findings from this case study provide empirical support for using brand identity theory to assess the creation of an athlete’s brand identity and strategies for positioning, communicating, and leveraging the athlete’s brand. Themes shaping brand identity creation included identifying core values, brand personality, and brand associations.
