Personal Statement
Hello! I'm Sarah DePaola. I am sixteen years old, and a Junior at Fayetteville Christian School. I have been playing softball since I was seven years old. For the 2021 season, I was the bracket pitcher for the Cape Fear Force Elite and Futures showcase teams, with first base as my secondary position. As an 8th grader, I was the starting pitcher for the Varsity softball team at my school. It was hard considering that I was one of the youngest on the team with such a huge leadership role. Though the season was short due to COVID-19, I learned how to lead the team, and trust myself in the process. The game of softball has taught me so much about myself and the amazing girls around me. I wish to study either Engineering or Physical Therapy while playing softball in college. I work hard to better myself, and I know that I can keep improving on my skills as an athlete. Even though I am still young, you can count on me to be the best player I can, and help lead a team!
I am looking forward to the upcoming 2022 travel ball season as a new member of Carolina Legacy 16U Elite.
