Striving to be better each time I hit the field whether it’s at practice or a game. Putting in the work…always. My inspiration comes from more advanced athletes and true sportsmanship. Keeping a positive attitude and encouraging other players to stay positive keeps my energy high and helps boosts our teams morale. Respect for everyone on the field of play athletes, umpires and always my coaches. I appreciate all the knowledge, time and energy our coaches give to not just myself but our team as a whole. Umpiring for our local youth fastpitch league gives me a better understanding of rules and calls. I hope to encourage younger athletes and the at same time better my own game. My goal is to be a student athlete at the college level.
