Madison Chiudina '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Madison Chiudina and softball has been in my blood since I was born.  My Dad always said I could throw a ball before I could walk. I used to sit on the sidelines at every tournament and watch all my three older sisters play just waiting for my turn and my turn is now.  Playing at the collegiate level has been a dream of mine since I started to play travel ball. This sport has shaped me to be the woman I am today. It has taught me to enjoy my triumphs but still be humble and not toot my own horn. It has taught me how to be a good friend to my teammates and how important it is to lift each other up and celebrate all successes. Winning is easy but keeping that spirit alive in the face of defeat shows true grit and love for this sport.  My high school team has struggled these last two years but we still go out for each game and cheer each other on screaming when someone gets a hit!  I have developed friendships with my teammates that I know will last a lifetime.
