Avery Walston '22 Recruiting Profile

Greetings!

One of my biggest aspirations is to play college softball. It has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. I feel that I have the drive and the want to play college softball, and I know I will put the work in to get to that level.

The three most important things in my life other than softball are family, faith, and school. My family has always pushed me to be the best, and are always there to support me. They do everything they can to help me reach my goals. It was actually my father's love of baseball that influenced me to play myself. He was a Division I four year scholarship college baseball student athlete and captain that has supported me as a coach and assistant coach growing up playing t-ball and coach pitch baseball. Academics are very important to me and I study as hard as I play. While I want to be a successful collegiate player, I also want to be a successful student. My mom is a teacher and she has always taught me to put academics first, while pushing me to keep the same drive on the field. Faith is what guides me everyday and is one of the most important things in my life. 

I would love to play at the collegiate level because I have a very competitive nature and I love playing softball. I have learned how to persevere and have been successful in doing so in the many sports I play.  The saying, "hard work pays off" became my motto as I was determined to improve my overall level of play in every sport I’ve played, especially softball. I enjoy being a contributing player to a team but also continue to work hard to be the best player and loyal teammate on the field to make us champions.
