Amber Hinkle '13 Recruiting Profile

My ultimate dream is to play softball in college. Some of the best moments of my life have been on the field, and I feel like those memories can only get better if I continue to play. I know that playing in college is hard work, but i think the hard work i've been putting in for the past twelve years has prepared me for college. I've experienced a lot of yelling, running, tears and drama but i've also experienced wins after extra innings, championships, awards, friendships, and i've learned more than just the rules of the game. I dream to some day be a leader that younger players or teammates look up to and have trust in me. I look up to my former high school teammate Jordan Smith who now plays softball at Iowa State University, and I try to give the same effect to my teammates that she gave to me. What I aspire to do is to become a community dietician, and to be able to use what I learned in college to help people live healthier lives. My family has a lot of medical issues and most of it has to do with bad habits and choice of diet, and for those reasons, I want to help people.
