Ashleigh Ronsse '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ashleigh Ronsse; I am an Sophmore (2026 Grad) at Poway High School in Poway, CA. My primary position is 3^rd base, but I also play 1^st base and any other position my team needs me to play.  I currently play for OC Batbusters Knapp 16U under coach Todd Knapp in San Diego, CA.  I made Varsity as a freshman at Poway High School.  I started at 3rd base 70% of the season including the San Diego CIF Championship game and the CIF California Regional State Championship game.  We won both games and ended the season ranked #7 in California.  Both of my parents went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.  I am the youngest of 3 in our family.

The purpose of this statement is to express my desire and passion to pursue softball at the next level in college. Softball has been a major part of my life since I started playing T-Ball when I was six. I have made so many amazing friends along the way and have learned many life lessons. I have been blessed to have been trained by many great coaches over the years and can't wait to see where I will end up. I continue to work hard on my softball skills while keeping focused on my academics as well. I have learned that softball is a very tough sport and I have experienced many ups and downs through my years of playing. I have realized that lessons that I have learned in softball have helped me in many other parts of my life. I hope to keep benefiting from these life lessons that softball is teaching me as I drive toward my goal of playing in college while earning my degree.

In regard to softball I train with my Batbusters team twice a week and have games or tournaments on most weekends. I take hitting lessons from Lindsey Gorman at Dropping Bombs Hitting.  I also visit the Batbusters training facility every week to take fielding lessons from Mike Stith (except during HS season).  I do my strength and agility training at Symbiotic with Stanford hall of famer Dana Sorenson.

As a student I always do my best to succeed.  Middle school was tough since almost my whole time in middle school was during COVID and taking classes from home.  I have really enjoyed high school so far especially since it is in person.  I played on the freshman volleyball team and had a great time playing a new sport and meeting new friends outside of softball.  It is very important to me to balance my time between softball and other social activities.  I really enjoy spending time with my friends and going to the beach or thrifting. 

I look forward to continuing to develop as a scholar athlete during my high school career as I work toward my lifelong goal of playing softball in college.  No matter what happens I am a better person because of my involvement in competitive softball.
