Nicolette Pavlik '20 Recruiting Profile

I want to get the best education as possible. I want to be successful in life and be a life long learner. I'm working hard in class everyday to keep improving my grades. I love the game of girls softball. I work out with my father/ coaches almost everyday indoor training and outdoor training. I work with a hitting instructor once a week. Softball is on my mind every day. I'm extremely hungry for this sport. I train extremely hard. I can play basically any position. My main positions at this time is third, catcher, and first base. I'm able to throw girls out at first, second and third base from my knees. I'm batting in the 3rd and 4th position on my  showcase travel team and high school team. I was taught two years ago by my coaches/ father to bat on the left side of home plate. I'm now a switch hitter.  I'm powerful from both sides of the plate.  As a freshman I started third base for the  Holmdel Varsity Softball Team. I'm going to continue striving to be the best in academics and the game of girls softball. I want to 100% advance and play college softball. My goal is to get better each day. There are friends, relatives, teammates, coaches and parents always encouraging me to stay with this sport and play college softball. When you love a sport you strive harder and become great. 

At 14 years old, I have been playing in 18u showcase tournaments statewide, playing for the New Jersey/Long Island Crush. I'm batting fourth in the line up and continue batting in the 500’s both from the right side and left side of the plate. I'm batting against extremely good experienced pitchers. The positions I play are third base,  shortstop, first base and catcher. The showcase competition is amazing and I'm enjoying playing with girls older then me. This amazing experience is making me better as a player and an individual.  I received an academic honors achievement award as a High School Freshman in one of the best schools in New Jersey, Holmdel High School. I will keep going forward to be the best in all I do. I will give 100% dedication to any college team that will hopefully recruit me one day!
