Personal Statement
My name is Ashley Theisen and I am going into 11th grade this fall. I live in Clinton, Wisconsin and I attend Clinton Jr. & Sr. High School. I will graduate in 2025. I have always been in the top 10 in my class. Last year I made the honor roll and was selected into the National Society of high school scholars (NSHSS). I have continued to be on the honor roll in my second year of high school and challenged myself with three additional AP classes.
I started playing travel softball seven years ago and consider myself a very hard worker and a leader of my team. I am primarily a pitcher but play second base also. I am willing to try any spot the coach asks me to play, except catcher. I love playing softball and want to play college ball someday. I am one of the captains of my team and try to lead by example as I take pitching lessons outside of practice and attend several camps a year. I have worked very hard and experienced the growing pains of my team that has also made me mentally tough. As a pitcher I know keeping my composure is so important for my team . I try to be their biggest support on and off the field.
This year I was voted to second team all conference as a pitcher and the Max preps player of the year for my team. I also received the defensive player of the year, game changer award, broke two existing school records, and pitched my first no hitter in high school.
In my next two years of high school I look to only improve my game through hard work and dedication to improving my skills away from practice. I have an indoor cage at home that allows me the ability to play year round. I also will work to maintain my GPA throughout my high school years. Learning to balance my academics with my athletics through many of my skills I learned from young on in karate.
