Abbey Tolmie '20 Recruiting Profile

I have always dreamed of playing college softball, growing up fully supported to play since I was 6 years old. My family has always encouraged me to improve and face the highest level of competition we could find. Even when I started to have success in other sports like cross country and track with records in the 1/2 mile and 1 mile races and most recently when my club volleyball director encouraged me to pursue being a D1 libero, there was still no question in my heart that for me, it is softball first and will always be softball first! I would love to play for a winning organization that welcomes well rounded students, leaders and athletes into their family. I could not imagine working hard to achieve my college degree without having to workout, go to practice and prepare for the big games, as it is part of who I am. As proven by my previous coaches comments and endorsements from teachers to receive accolades like the 2016 Outstanding Student Citizenship Award for Clarkston, I will bring a unique work ethic combined with passion, empathy and sound leadership behaviors to improve those around me help my team achieve a common goal!
