Caterina Surleti '26 Recruiting Profile

My biggest goal is to get into a school with a good softball program and good education. I started playing softball when I was in the 5th grade and at first it was just something to do and now it is something I truly enjoy doing and probably my favorite. I started out in little league and wasn't very good I was willing to put in many hours of work to improve with my dad. We always found time to go to the field and put in the work and if you want it bad enough you will get it if you put the right amount of work in. I am typically a quiet kid at school and softball has helped me put my voice out there more. Often I would fall into slumps and let all my anger and frustration got to my head and messed me up a lot. One thing about softball is that you will have your ups and down but it's all about how quickly you recover from that error or mistake. I am in 9th grade and will be trying out for my school varsity team this year. My grades always haven't been the best but I am truly trying my best this year because I know that if I work hard enough it will all pay off in the end. One idea for college for me has always been real estate or business but all I know is that I have a goal set to play college softball.
