A Night with Leah Amico

The Wheeling University women's soccer team joined with community participants to share a memorable night hearing Leah Amico's journey in softball and faith.

Leah Amico is best known as one of the most accomplished softball players in American sports history. She won three Olympic gold medals with Team USA softball, competing on teams that helped shape the sport’s place on the world stage.

Leah’s voice offered a reminder that greatness is not built only in highlight moments. It grows through small choices:

• Showing up prepared

• Encouraging a teammate after an error

• Accepting coaching with humility

• Competing hard without losing character

• Trusting that purpose can be bigger than performance

Faith showed up in practical ways:

• Choosing patience when a teammate struggles

• Speaking life instead of criticism

• Playing with gratitude instead of entitlement

• Leading through service, not status

• Finding peace beyond the scoreboard
