Maia Valenti '26 Recruiting Profile

I started playing softball when I was 10 years old after playing baseball for 5 years. Being a part of a team has been an important part of my growth as an athlete. As a softball player, I’ve learned the importance of hardwork, perseverance and learning through failure to reach a goal. Being a student athlete has taught me how to set goals and prioritize my time to achieve what is important to me. I study hard, value getting good grades, and maintaining a high GPA. I seek to build good relationships with my peers and the adults that coach and mentor me. Outside of school I enjoy volunteering my time by helping at local sports camps, giving private lessons,  and spending my summers as an intern for Performance Edge, a local sports training facility. My goal is to continue as a student athlete at the collegiate level. I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and how it functions as well as passionate about helping others. This has inspired me to pursue a degree to become a nurse practitioner so I can make a difference in people's lives. I am looking for a school that will be the right fit to help me meet my academic goals and softball aspirations.
