LS Winter Champio...Personal Statement
Ever since I started playing softball in the 4th grade I knew I wanted to play at the college level. I asked my parents to find any and every camp they could find so I could go. I went my first overnight college camp that summer. Since then I have continued to learn as much as possible about the game to improve my skills.
My coaches will tell you I have an excellent work ethic, am extremely coach-able, and have an unrelenting competitiveness to win. I switched positions from a pitcher/position player to a full time catcher/infield corners over the winter.
As hard as I work on the field and in the gym, I work equally as hard in the classroom to maintain a high GPA. This year I am taking AP and high level science classes to prepare myself for college. I will start taking the ACT this summer.
My goal is to be able to attend a school that will let me to get my Masters in Athletic Training or Bachelors Pre-Athletic Training while having the privilege to play competitive college softball.

I give Mara pitching lessons 2 times a week for one hour and she never has a bad session. She works extremely hard and is very coachable." Personality: "Mara has a great personality and always comes to lessons with a smile on her face. She works extremely hard and is always willing to try new things that will make her better. I would highly recommend Mara for any successful softball program."

She is a shutdown pitcher, devastating power hitter, and has good field sense and game awareness." Personality: "Mara is a very upbeat happy person and player. She is not an emotional roller coaster player but is very steady. She leads mostly by physical and mental toughness with an unrelenting competitiveness to win."

She has been pitcher first and position player second. For an athlete to switch positions and make such a smooth transition to a full-time position player, especially to behind the plate. It was an effortless transition with some natural instincts that are hard to find. YOU ASK THIS GIRL TO PLAY A POSITION SHE NEVER HAS AND SHE WILL DO IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS OR HESITATION." --- Personality: "Mara is a worker, desires to be good and wants to win. Mara is a true competitor that holds herself accountable, sometimes too much. Mara is a very coach-able player. Mara would be an asset to any team she is on. I have only coached Mara privately, catching and hitting lessons. She works well with her teammates, I can only assume she would be a good team leader based on her ability to communicate during lessons and the games I have seen her play, but never as a in game coach."
