Brooke Mangold '14 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'9" senior from Castroville, TX with a passion for softball and a desire to compete at the college level.  I have started on the Medina Valley High School varsity softball team for four years now and as a freshman was named the 28 4A All-District Newcomer of the Year in 2011. My sophomore year has been a dream come true as I accomplished some personal goals by starting and competing at the varsity level in five sports including Cross Country, Volleyball, Basketball, Track, and Softball. Despite my hectic athletic schedule, I have been able to balance my academics, maintain a solid GPA, as well as participate in other extra curricular activities such as FCA, FFA, Youths Acts, Student Council, and the National Honor Society.

As I look forward to college and softball at the collegiate level, I am looking for a school that will give me a similar balance and allow me to excel and grow personally on and off the field.  I plan to study Kinesiology in preparation for a career in Physical Therapy while fulfilling my dream of excelling in college as a student athlete in the sport I love, Softball!  Simply stated, I love the game and I love to compete.

I am looking for a school that will challenge me academically as well as athletically. I am also hopeful that my athleticism, drive, determination, work ethic, willingness to be instructed, and humble attitude will open some doors and allow me to fulfill my childhood dream.
