Ella Mack '27 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing softball since I was four years old.  I love the game and want to continue onto the collegiate level.  I have a high softball IQ, mental toughness and play catcher and second base very well.  I have a great range of motion and quick reaction time.  As a leadoff hitter, I am able to generate a high on-base percentage and get runs for my team.  I take pride in being a leader and strive to not only make myself better, but my whole team as well.  

I work any chance I can to develop my skills, taking part in five years of travel ball and 6 years of rec ball.  I play basketball and volleyball outside of softball. On my own time, I like to workout, hang out with friends and watch the Cubs play. 

My education is also very important to me.  I study and try my hardest so I am able to maintain straight A's in the classroom.  I am the President of my Freshman Class this year in High School.  I also take part in the Orange Crush Pep Club, Students Against Destruction Decisions and Youth Philanthropists at my high school.    

I want to attend a school that pushes me to the best of my abilities not just on the softball field, but in the classroom as well.  Finding a college that I feel is the best match for me, while allowing me to play at the highest level would be a great honor.  I also hope to bring with me my values that I feel got me where I am today.  I will push myself to make myself and my parents proud and to be a good role model for my peers and community.
