Cayleen Ryan '17 Recruiting Profile

Softball has influenced me so much as a person. It's taught me how to work with others, be apart of something, and most of all how to lose. As weird as that sounds, losing is a part of being a person. Softball has showed me how to take bad situations and work hard and turn them into better situations. I love softball with all of my heart. I dedicate so much of my life to softball and am looking to take my dedication to the next level. My drive and heart for this sport has pushed me to become who I am today.
I work hard on the field and off, in the books and in the classroom. I never let my grades slip, because I know that I am a student athlete, and grades are just as important as practice. I practice with everything I've got, and I love learning how to do things more efficiently, whether it's footwork or staying long through the zone. I am positive and a bubbly person to have around, I'm a strong leader, and I love meeting new people and going new places.
