Hitting Work #2
October 2019Personal Statement
First I would like to say that I am not just a female athlete but I am a Christian female athlete that excels not only in the classroom but also on the softball field. I am very humble but also very hungry to not only want to continue my success in the classroom but beyond the classroom on the softball field. I am certain that if I continue to work hard and maintain my 4.0 GPA that I will get an academic scholarship, however it is my goal to also play college softball! I feel that I am one of the best middle infielders in my age group. I played my entire 14u Spring/Summer season 2015 at SS we finished with a record of 46-15-4 and I had only 2 errors recorded for the entire season and finished with a BA of .456 and I am only going to continue to grow and get better. I get along with my teammates, my Coaches and love the game of softball and work hard to maintain my 4.0GPA.
I have continued to grow and improve my skills, my high school team won our District, Region, Sun-State and finished 3rd in the State. I was number 2 hitter in our line up, played 2nd, short and 3rd with my primary position being short stop! I have continued to excel in the classroom finishing my Junior year with a 4.2GPA, being inducted into the National Honor Society. I am playing summer travel ball with Coach Marc Weekly and Fury 18u in several tournaments on a national level!
Thank you!
