Kelsey Sample '21 Recruiting Profile

 I have been playing softball since I was 9 years old and I made up my mind after my first year of recreational league softball, I wanted to be a pitcher.  I have been taking pitching lessons every year since.  My short term goal is to play Varsity Softball for my high school starting next season.  My longer term goal is to play at the collegiate level.  I am a punctual, goal oriented person with a very competitive nature.  I am committed to doing what it takes to improve my game to the level necessary to reach my goals.  

I carry my competitive nature not only on the softball field but also in the classroom.  I view each academic task as a opportunity to challenge my mind to achieve at a high level.  I maintain a GPA in excess of 3.5 and enjoy mathematics and science.  I am a member of the National Junior Honor Society and was selected to represent my school at the UIL Academic competition this past school year.

Additionally, I enjoy music and specifically, playing the trumpet.  I even take my competitiveness into the band hall.  I have played the trumpet for four years and have been first chair trumpet for most of the past year in the most experienced band in my school.  I performed five trumpet solos throughout the year at various band competitions and for a Youth Orchestra of San Antonio event.  I received the highest scores available and many verbal accolades.

No matter what the task is, I give it my all.  I am committed to the game not only because I love it but because I know surrounding myself with other committed athletes will allow me to reach goals that go beyond the softball field and will positively impact my life, how I approach life, and my contribution to society.
