With the ability to speak for themselves, the astonishing accolades Team USA veteran Cat Osterman achieved during her playing career are among the highest in the game. A three-time Olympic medalist, Osterman helped lead the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team – later dubbed “The Real Dream Team” – to the most dominant Olympic campaign in the sport of softball where the U.S. claimed its third-straight Olympic medal. She later returned to the Olympic stage in 2008 and 2020 where Team USA earned consecutive silver medal finishes. The University of Texas alum helped the U.S. to three Pan American Games gold medals and two World Championship gold medals throughout her 13-year career with the USA Softball Women’s National Team while also leading her collegiate program to three NCAA Division I Women’s College World Series appearances. A threat in the circle for many years, Osterman is the only three-time recipient of the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award while additional honors include being named the 2004 Women’s Sports Foundation Athlete of the Year and 2005 & 2006 ESPY Top Collegiate Female Athlete and Honda Award Winner for softball. A true cornerstone of the USA Softball Women’s National Team program, Osterman’s resume and passion for growing the game across all levels has made her one of the sport’s most influential advocates.
