Jillian Mitchell '21 Recruiting Profile

My future goals include graduating high school, attending college, and pursuing a career I enjoy. I want to attend a junior college for a few years and play softball there just to get used to college and playing a college sport. I intend on attending school on either an academic or athletic scholarship. Eventually I want to attend a Division 1 college and play for a top softball team. I follow many teams such as Florida, Oregon, Baylor, UCLA, and tons more. I pay attention to their players and see what I should be doing to make sure I get to my goal. I would be a smart choice for college coaches because I know what I want and need to do. I am very coachable and listen to advice. Also I make smart choices in my everyday life. I don't do anything or hang out with people that could ruin my reputation. Not only am I a good player to have on the field, I do my part to be a good person in school and at home. I have received many awards from teachers for being an exemplary student. At home I also do my part to help out where needed. My parents and sister play a big role in my school and sports life. These things do not necessarily make me different than other recruits, but they are still very good qualities for a player to have. I have been playing softball since I was 5 years old and my parents have been there ever single step of the way and I couldn't be more grateful for that. I am so passionate about softball and I know what goals I need to accomplish to get to my dream of playing college softball.
