Keep Swinging: What Beep Baseball and Blind Athletes Teach Us About Love and Possiblity
What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready—and just step up to the plate? In this powerful episode of Shot@Love, Kerry sits down with Wynter Pingle and Johnny Coe following an unforgettable moment at Fenway Park, where beep baseball took center field and redefined what’s possible. Wynter—blind musician, runner, athlete, and chef—shares her journey of continuously discovering new parts of herself, proving that identity isn’t fixed… it’s built through action. Alongside her teammate and guide Johnny, the conversation dives into the trust, rhythm, and connection required to play a sport where you can’t rely on sight—only instinct and belief. But this episode goes far beyond the game. It’s about pushing past fear, embracing discomfort, and realizing that growth doesn’t come from thinking—it comes from trying. From running races you never thought you could finish, to building community, to putting yourself out there in love and life, Wynter and Johnny show that confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you earn. At its core, this episode is a reminder: You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start. Because the only real miss… is never taking the swing.
