Nicole Jihlavec ‘24 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Softball has been apart of my life since I was four years old. I currently am an incoming Junior at Johnsburg High School in Illinois. As my softball career has progressed, I have acquired the necessary skills to move forward in becoming a collegiate athlete in years to come. My growth into becoming a team player has taken hold in my life both on and off the field. On the field- I play second base and catcher primarily; however, I see myself as a diverse player. With the ability to play middle infield, catcher, and corner outfield, I feel confident in my skills to play wherever is needed. Off the field- I am apart of link crew where I assist oncoming freshman students in getting comfortable with their new school and setting. As every athlete knows, the knowledge you acquire in sports is expected to be passed down. As my years being taught continue grow, I look forward to sharing that knowledge for years to come.
