Haleigh Montgomery '19 Recruiting Profile

I have played softball since I was 3 years old. I may have started out playing in the dirt, but today, I work as hard as I can to be the best athlete I can be. My primary positions are shortstop and catcher. I love to catch. I have always been a team leader, because I know that however I carry myself can effect the way that others finish the game. When someone tells me how to fix something to make my play better, I try my hardest to accomplish the task. I want to help all of my team members strive to their full potential so that they will be able to have a successful career in college, if they want to play. 

 

I work very hard in the classroom, though sometimes I may miss a couple of assignments. I show up for classes, I don't like to miss very many days, because I fall behind. When I am older, I want to to go to the University of Texas at Dallas, though I am open for other suggestions, but I would like to be a pediatric doctor. I want to work in a hospital with children. I love kids. I babysit now. I would love to be able to make sick children all over the country be able to go back to their normal lives before they were sick, even if there will be a down-side to the job. I am a hard worker in and out of the classroom. I just want to have a good future. 

I am ambitious. I want my future family to be able to have everything they want and need.

Something that makes me different from other recruits is that I am not afraid to make someone mad if I am doing the right thing. I have a good head on my shoulders and I want it to stay that way. If I was to be on your team, and another teammate was doing something that would affect the team name, I wouldn't be scared to call them out on it. 

How I'm different in athletics? I would say that being as I started out on a team at such a young age, I would think that it would help me know how to work on a team a little better than someone who hasn't had much experience. I also always work hard, but I try and have some fun while I'm doing it. my Jr. High coach taught me that to get the best results out of a game, or even a practice, you have to have fun or it will be too stressful. 

I want to be on a college team my freshman year of college. these are some of the assets I believe I will be able to bring to your team.
