Personal Statement

"Never give up until you are the best"

I play with SEC Elite travel ball team that plays showcase and highschool fastpitch because I push myself to be the best. I practice daily with pitching drills and hitting skills on my own outside of my daily practice with school and my travel team. I am confident on the pitching mound and in batters box as a power hitter.

I want to play at the next level and playing softball in college is my dream.
