Personal Statement

I am a hardworking and dedicated student-athlete. I’m a good listener and I strive to be the best I can be. I always want what is best for my team while improving on my own skills. I like going to practice because it gives me a chance to learn from my mistakes and better prepare myself for the games. I have been playing softball for twelve years and have always loved the game. I want to attend a competitive university that can prepare me for the future while also allowing me to play softball.
