Maria Harrison '24 Recruiting Profile

HAPPY EASTER!!! GOD BLESS EVERYONE.

I am so incredibly grateful to the coaches, and umpires who voted me All Confrence as a junior(spring 2023). Thank you so much! 

Not everyone gets to be on a winning team. I was constantly told I'd never get a scholarship to play softball because it's so hard. Yes it is hard, but now all of those doubters are now believers. I give 100% on the field and in the classroom. Softball is still new to my school so we lose all the time but this past season we won 2 games. It was huge for me and my school. I want my little sisters and other little girls in my town to be inspired by my desire to never give up. I trust in my abilities because I'm the hardest worker I know. I still pitch because my team needs me to and I love it, but my senior year I'll be able to play CF and SS. Im so excited. I'm all about the team. I've been a team captain every year and its teaching me patience and leadership.

I play other sports so I don't get the chance to play travel ball but my Dad always says it's not how many games I play that matters is how I play. I try to attend as many camps as I can to see how I measure up. Its hard but nothing worth having is easy. My batting avg is really good considering I only get to bat once per game for most of the seasons Ive played. Our division is really difficult. It's not fun to lose big but its fun to play the game. Softball is really fun for me. I try not to let anything bad get to me. There's always the next play. That's why I love sports. I'm very competitive.

My Dad is my coach, and he is tough on me. If I can be coached by him I can be coached by anyone. 

Please give me a chance. Thanks for reading.
