Katelyn Smitchko '22 Recruiting Profile

I am interested in a Physical Therapy course of study and I would like to minor in psychology.  My goal is to excel in my academics, play softball at a D1 level, and have a good relationship with my future team and coaching staff.

I've been playing softball since I was 9, and after I discovered how much I love playing, I started playing on a travel ball team.  I have been told by my coaches that I am very coach-able and also very competitive.  I always get along well with any teammates and respect my coaches.  I try to give everything I have to give at practice and games.  I am also very eager to learn.  I like stay active in the off season by lifting. When I have the chance, I go out and hit balls off the tee or pitch in my garage. What makes me different from others is that if I make a bad play or i’m having a bad day, I will always be there help my teammates and play my heart out. My academics are always #1 and I am focusing on keeping my grades up. When i'm not studying or being with my family, I will either be on the field or in the batting cage practicing. I hope I have the opportunity one day to be able to show you my skills and determination. Thank you for reading!
