Blakely VanDyke-2...Personal Statement
My dream is to find a collegiate team that becomes family. I hope to play at a high level, at a school where I can contribute to the team statistically, through teamwork, and charismatic leadership. I feel I bring a strong work ethic, as I was a late bloomer with my athletic ability and have had to work very hard for everything I’ve accomplished. I understand the importance of taking care of my body through nutrition, rest and laughter.
I currently have interests in chiropractic, coaching, or working with youth and special needs. I hope to connect with a school that allows me to spend a portion of each year abroad working and serving in underserved countries on faith based mission trips. My faith and my family are the most important things in my life and I am looking forward to adding members to my softball family.
I also have interest in continuing my passion for music theater, choir and possibly track in college.
