Personal Statement
I have the desire to continue my education after high school and hope that part of my collegiate experience will involve playing a game I love, softball. I hope that my years of commitment to the sport, abilities, and passion for the game will provide an avenue for me to continue playing ball as well as provide an avenue to help my family afford a college education.
I am a hard-working, fun-loving student athlete. On the softball field, I have played either short or 3rd base most of my life, but I am very versatile defensively having played almost every position on the field, including pitcher, at one time or another - as a need or situation arose. I am strong and have good speed. Offensively, whether for a travel team or my high school team, I have typically hit in the heart of the line-up, and have been very successful in that role. While I am viewed as a power hitter, I am also a capable and willing bunter - should the situation call for it.
Generally, I am versatile, hard-working, and passionate. I am a leader and supportive within the school community and on the field. Most importantly, I believe I may be different from other recruits as I don't think I'm "all that" or a total package, yet I am confident that I have the ability to play and compete, successfully, at the next level. I look forward to continuing to develop as a person and player so that when the opportunity presents itself, I will be ready.
