Alexa Hanish '22 Recruiting Profile

Thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile! Behind the plate, you may think I am small, but don't be scared by my small stature because I am strong, fast and agile.  I don't just work hard, but I will always compete!  I picked up a bat and ball at age 5 and I have never looked back.  I can’t imagine doing anything else, and to have the opportunity to play softball while furthering my education, would be a dream come true.  Over the years, I have moved multiple times, and softball was the one constant that gave me a true identity.  My new team became an instant family even as my "address" changed.  

Over the years I have continued to strive for both personal excellence and supporting the women on my team so we can together achieve greatness. I was drawn to catching because lifting up and supporting the team is my greatest strength. I accept the challenge of being a leader both on and off of the field. I have never been accused of being a wallflower; following is not in my DNA. 

I have applied this same drive to my academics.  I wish to pursue a degree in engineering because of my never-ending desire to understand the intricacies of how science applies to humanity. Engineering and softball seem to also be a good fit.  A good softball player draws on existing strengths to prepare for the future challenges. Engineers adapt and change to be more efficient just like a good softball player.  Off the field, I continue to take a rigorous schedule in the math and sciences to prepare me for the challenges ahead and am always striving to be better.
