Nevaeh Courville '23 Recruiting Profile

There are so many things in this world that could make someone happy or just feel safe while doing the thing they love or being somewhere they love. My safe place is however softball, and just having the opportunity to play the game. The most important thing about softball to me is just how being on the field releases my mind from everything i have going on whether its at home, or in school, just everything in general. It helps me realize that i will always have an amazing thing to come back to, something i will always have. Theres just so many things about the game that i just love, such as the adrinalin that pumps through your body when you get a great hit, or make an amazing play, or even when your team mates does those things. The feeling is just so unreal and the fact that it pushes you to want to push harder and be better than what you were yesturday. In my opinion the best feeling is just wanting to get out on the field and push harder and give your all into every play not only for yourself but for the team you play for. Just the feeling of having your whole team wish the best for you and push you to be that better version of yourself everyday, and also to have that family to come to everyday that will always be there for you. Also another important thing to softball for me is the competition, going on to the field you know that there are only 9 postitons meaning only 9 people can start, so you have to push with everything that you can during a game and most importantly at practice to play and start in that one position that you want. There are so many more people that are going to want the same position as you so just having that drive and competition around you makes you want to push harder and be the better player in that postition. Im very blessed to be able to have the opportunity to even play the game, so while ive got it in my hands im going to do everything that i can to reach the next level in softball.

Being a student athlete motivates me to be the best in the classroom and on the field, i want to attend college for softball of course but also i would like to study Sports Medicine because even after college ill be able to stay in sports and help athletes get better from personal experiences.
