2024 SpotlightHi coaches!
My name is Lola Norlander, class of 2026, and I am a catcher, center fielder, and a utility player. I am in my junior year in high school. In college I look to major in Sports Management with a plan to have a career as a sports agent. I believe this will be a great way to stay connected with athletics throughout the rest of my life.
I have been playing softball since 2014. Beginning with T-ball, I've loved playing the game up through making the JV team as an 8th grader, and then the Varsity team as a freshman at Hastings High School in Hastings-on-Hudson NY.
I earned my spot as a starter on the Varsity squad as a utility player (catcher, SS, OF, and 3rd base) and became the starting catcher my sophomore year. My passion is for catching, and I am always striving to increase my skill set and abilities at the position.
I was awarded All-League and an All-Section honorable mention my sophomore year, and strive to earn All-Section and All-State as I continue ball for the rest of high school.
In travel ball I represented Heat Softball (based out of House of Sports in Ardsley, NY) from 2021-2024. I am now a catcher for Lady Fury, based out of Game on 13 in Elmsford, NY.
In addition to softball I have been a member of the H.H.S. Varsity indoor track team, for which I broke the school record in the 300 meter dash my sophomore year with a 43.89. (My goal is to keep breaking my record in both my junior and senior year!)
I also play volleyball for the H.H.S., where I am utilized in a variety of positions such as front middle, and back row.
Since the age of six years old I have been studying martial arts, in the style of Kyokushin karate. Currently I am an advanced brown belt, and in the past few years have placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in various tournaments. I am on track to achieve my goal of attaining the rank of black belt before I graduate high school.
I am confident that my athleticism, hard work, and determination will make me a great addition to your collegiate softball program.
Thank you for taking the time to review and look at my profile!
