2020 Highlights
June 2019Personal Statement
My name is Reese Coon & I am from a softball family. My Dad played baseball and is my travel ball coach. My Dad's brother & four sisters played ball collegiately too. I started playing at age 5, joined a 10u team at age 7 and never looked back. I love this game and all of the people I have had the ability to meet. My favorite thing about softball is that it has given me a level of confidence in myself on and off the field. I am a great skills player, am versatile playing all positions (except pitching) and in the top for batting average on my teams. I feel I am a great teammate because I work hard in practices, am a strong leader by example and I encourage others. I stay balanced by also playing tennis. My grades are important to me. I excel academically in honors & AP classes and will responsibly balance college softball & my academics. I'm open to nearly everywhere and can't wait to start learning about your softball program and school. I want this opportunity to play the sport I love at the next level. Thank you for considering me!
