Lila Gerber '25 Recruiting Profile

The opportunity to play college softball is not just the once of a lifetime opportunity to continue to play the game I have loved since I was eight years old.  It is also the once of a lifetime opportunity to attend a university where I can grow academically by expanding my educational opportunities and horizons while growing socially as a young adult.  I am looking for a team first/family-focused program that places and brings the same level of importance on routine, discipline, focus, and drive in the weight room, film room, in practices, and on gamedays than it does on excelling in the classroom, in the community, and life after my softball career comes to a close.  I am also looking for a program where I can learn from and grow with coaches and athletes that I can and will not only call my coaches and teammates, but lifelong mentors and cherished friends who will be part of my story and help make me the best person I can be in all aspects of my life on and off the diamond.  And has been the case throughout my softball journey, I will give that program who gives me the once in a lifetime opportunity nothing less than my maximum commitment, drive effort, loyalty, respect, and willingness to be best representative for the program and the university.
