Jenna Cantalupo '19 Recruiting Profile

I began playing competitive softball when I was 9, and I could never imagine quitting this sport that I have loved ever since.  Being a catcher, I would first describe myself as a leader.  I am very vocal behind the plate, and love being able to control the whole field from such a great position.  I am also a very smart catcher.  I take note of players when they step up to bat; including their height, batting stance, and muscular size.  This helps me know the batter more and predict their tendencies.  Lastly, I have a lot of heart and passion for the game and the people I've met from playing it.  I always give 100% and want myself and my team to always be improving in some way.  I am a good teammate and am always supportive of my peers.  Not only do I work hard as a catcher, but also as a student.  I always give all of my effort to my studies, which are very important to me.  On my free time I like to participate in Cross Fit, along with playing basketball in the fall and winter seasons.  These activities keep me strong and agile, which are important attributes to the catcher.
