I am Elizabeth Aicher, a 2026 Graduate of Prospect High School D214. I play for the Arlington Heights Thunder Premier 18U. Other than pitcher, I can adjust to whatever position my coach needs me in. However, my primary positions are shortstop and second. These positions pushed me to become a leader of my team. No matter who you are playing with or against, your teammates should work together and play 100% until the end of the 7th inning. Mistakes happen; you must build each other up and help regain your teammates' confidence. Being able to control your attitude and thoughts plays a significant role in how you can play. If you can boost your confidence and believe in yourself, it will have a positive outcome on the field or up to bat. If you cannot achieve this by yourself, your teammates should come in. These simple aspects have allowed me to become the player I am today. Softball has taught me a lot about growing as a team while having all A's throughout middle school and high school has taught me a lot about personal growth. These factors will come in handy throughout my career and the future. In college, I would like to pursue a major in Aerospace Engineering and play softball with a group of girls that believe in teamwork. I am very excited to work with you and discuss my upcoming future.
