Erin Smith '18 Recruiting Profile

I am interested in playing college softball and attending a school that challenges me, both athletically and academically.
Athletically, I have been playing softball since I was 5 years old and have played competitive softball for the past five years. Currently, I am playing for Colorado Stampede 18 Gold and am a team leader. My primary position is pitcher, but I also play first base and can play outfield. I have been working with a private pitching coach for the past 5 years. I train 4-5 times a week, all year round, to build speed and muscle and improve my skills and technique. I am dedicated, hard working, coachable, lead by example, and strive to become a dominant softball pitcher and overall player in Colorado.
Academically, I work hard in school to maintain my grades. I have been on the honor roll every semester. This year as a sophomore at Columbine High School, I am enrolled in Chemistry and Honors Algebra II and plan on taking honor classes and AP courses throughout high school.
In addition, I do volunteer work for Sports Made Possible with my softball team, helping mentally and physically challenged kids participate in softball. I also volunteer for Brent's Place, an organization that helps prepare food for cancer patients and their families. I have also been involved with the Food Bank of the Rockies and have umpired recreational softball games during summer breaks for the Highlands Ranch Metro District.
