Alyssa Johnson ‘12 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Hi, my name is Alyssa Johnson. I'm 5'6 and 140 lbs. My speed from home to first is 2.9. I've been playing travel softball for six years now, four of which have been with my current organization, the Schaumburg Sluggers. My team placed second at the IL NSA State tournament the summer of 2009, and placed Second at the NSA 'A' Nationals this past summer (2010). We also took first in our bracket in the Midwest Showcase Tournament in Columbus, Ohio the past two fall seasons (2009-2010). I was also awarded the Freshmen Softball Sportsmanship award by my high school coach my first High School season. When it comes to my training, I always give everything I have, and push myself to be the best I can. It is my dream to play softball at the collegiate level. I'm open to any school size or division. I'm looking for a college that meets my academic standards and will help me achieve my hopes to become a Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer or Nurse. My goal is to compete as a freshman at the highest level of softball possible. I also hope to make a positive impact on any team I play for.
