Shaylee Olmstead '26 Recruiting Profile

I have many goals in life, and one of the most important ones is playing college softball. To me, it doesn't matter if it is D1, D2, or D3 as long as I can play softball anywhere outside of high school I would be very pleased. I am open to all the right college opportunities. I want to major in business and finance, so I can become a realtor and then become a broker. I always give my 100% whether I'm in a game or when I'm at practice or training or even at home. Because of this, I believe that I would be a good candidate for any college softball team. Whenever I have the opportunity to become a better softball player, I take it and become the best softball player I can be. I just love the sport and I want to be the best softball player I can be and achieve my goals of playing college softball. One thing I think that is different about me is that I don't have a favorite college softball team or a specific team that I watch, I just watch softball all the time and try to learn new skills and plays and altogether better knowledge of the game. I also play two other sports hockey and soccer and my drive for those sports is not even near my drive and dedication for softball. But I still give my 100% in both hockey and soccer and want to become better in both. School is very important to me and so are my grades. I love researching and always staying open to learning new things. My grades are very important and I try to aim for 90 and higher in all my classes. On a softball note, I believe and have always been told that my batting is my strongest skill and one of the biggest reasons I'm being moved up to varsity. I bat 3rd and sometimes 4th in the lineup.                   Shaylee Olmstead
