Personal Statement
I have been interested in softball for as long as I can remember. Some
of my favorite summer memories include following my dad around to his
ball games, cheering him and his team on while playing my own ‘made
up’ games with my little weekend softball friends. My interest
continued to escalate as I started to play my own games and joined my
first club team. I met girls and families that had the same drive,
desire, and passion for the game that I had. We continue to push each
other to be the best that we can be. I will consider them to be
lifelong friends and together we have accomplished and will continue
to accomplish great things, on and off the field. One of my
highlights that I share with my club team is going 26-0 during a
strong fall season and winning State, but most of all it was the
quality time spent every weekend with my teammates and their families.
I am also fortunate enough to be part of a growing and successful
high school program. I started my high school varsity career after my
8th grade year, and with the help of my leadership and strong work
ethic, I feel I have helped my team grow and improve. My freshman
year showed many successes; we beat the number one team in our
conference, and we also upset a ranked team to advance to the regional
finals. Although our season ended just short of the state tournament,
it was still an effective season because we learned a lot about our
team and that it’s going to take commitment, leadership, teamwork and
hard work in the off season in order to get our team to the next
level. We can achieve a lot together.
I have a strong work ethic, am extremely competitive, and have a high
understanding, appreciation and love of the game. I am a 3 sport
athlete that gives 110% in everything I do. I am looking for a type of
program and feel like I could immediately benefit a program that
shares my same characteristics.
