Mackenzie Wright '21 Recruiting Profile

Softball has been part of my life since I was just little.  It has become more that just playing in dirt and running bases.  It has taught me how hard work and dedication can lift you to success.  Becoming a good slap hitter was not easy,  but it became my focus and goal.  As I look back at the many hours of gym time, tee time, and repetitions, I see how my focus and hard work has turned me into a true triple threat at the plate.  But, more importantly, that effort has shown me that with my hard work and dedication, I can accomplish anything I want.  I approach all my challenges with this same effort.  A perfect example is my schooling.  My goal has been to maintain a 4.0 through all of school.  My efforts have allowed me to meet that goal and I am number one in my class, as well as an all-state academic athlete in both volleyball and softball.  

My hopes for college are to graduate with a degree in Health and Human Performance.  I enjoy working out and seeing how the human body works as well as seeing how efforts in the gym show up as improvements and success on the field.  I hope to be able to help others meet their own goals.  As a teammate, I have seen how my positive attitude and approach can help them grow and improve.

My goal for softball is to be a contributor for a sucessfull college team. I feel like I bring more to a softball team than just a strong arm, speedy feet, and a quick bat.  I am a team player who loves to compete.  I work hard, and am very coachable.
