Shaina Beal '24 Recruiting Profile

Softball has been my life since I can remember.  This sport has made me the person I am today.  When I am not playing the game I love, I enjoy doing drills and working on little mechanics, hanging out with friends, shopping, and watching movies.  One of the things that I enjoy doing is musical theater.  I have done two musicals for my middle school and I hope to keep doing them in high school. The Year of 2019 I was in Mary Poppins and then the year 2020 was Peter Pan which we didn't get the chance to perform due to COVID-19. I am outgoing and I love meeting new people.  I am willing to do whatever it takes to become a better person on and off the field.  I currently play for Mill Creek Mayhem Fastpitch 15u.  Upon high school and higher education, I would love to go to beauty school and pursue my dream of doing professional hair and makeup.  Doing hair and makeup is a big passion of mine.  I've had this dream since I first laid my hands on makeup.  Aside from that, I would love to coach eventually and grow the girl's love for the game. I love helping people out and being someone that people can come to when they need help or advice with something. To play college ball at the University of Montana, Western Washington University, Duke University, University of Washington, or Califonia Polytechnic State University would be a dream of mine. Of course, playing college ball for anyone who excepts me would be amazing and I'd be happy with anywhere to call my new family and home.  The outfield is where I feel most comfortable playing but I will play anywhere the team needs me.  I have played outfield most of my softball carrier with a little bit of third base and shortstop here and there. I have grown up playing for Mill Creek Little Leauge for as long as I can remember. I enjoy the game not only because it brings me joy but because the players, coaches, and parents that I have all been round during practices, camps, or games all seem so supportive. It is somewhere that I can show off my talent, differences, and be excepted for who I am. The community all feels like one big family.
