How Jenny Cavnar Became MLB’s First Woman Play-by-Play Voice in 25 Years
Jenny Cavnar is not just calling games; she's redefining them. As the first woman in over 25 years to do play-by-play for Major League Baseball, Jenny’s voice in the booth is changing the sound (and the face) of the sport. In this powerful and personal conversation, Jenny opens up about the professional grit and personal grace it takes to thrive in high-stakes environments.
From growing up on the baseball field as the daughter of a coach, to navigating motherhood, marriage, and media scrutiny, Jenny walks us through what it really looks like to lead with courage and conviction. We explore the strategies that keep her grounded: from mental performance routines and visualization to family systems and faith. She shares how she handles online criticism, cultivates resilience, and chooses flexibility over perfection in every area of her life.
This is a deep dive into what it takes to build a meaningful life while carrying both ambition and responsibility. Jenny’s journey is proof that you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep showing up, keep learning, and keep saying yes to the next right thing.
