Personal Statement

Thank you for taking a look at my profile.  I am a very dedicated student athlete who is looking to compete at the highest level of softball in college. I am a serious student and catcher. I am also a true utility. I love to compete in pressure situations and I work hard so that I am prepared when those opportunities come my way. I also enjoy batting and I am usually a lead off hitter on my teams. Thanks for your time and I look forward to getting to know your program.I have been playing softball since I was 9 years old.  It is a game that I loved from the very start and fall more in love with each season.  I believe that God has blessed me with the talent to play softball and I want to use my ability for his glory and not my own.  One of the best ways I can do that is by playing college softball. It means a lot for me to step on the field and do something I love and at the same time give God the glory for it.  I think I can bring good things to a college program.  I believe that as a player you need to first be a great teammate.  A team is only as strong as its weakest player so it is important to always want your teammates to be the best they can be.  I have great coaches who have always taught us to put each other and the team first.  I would describe myself as a kind and humble player, but I also bring toughness and leadership to the field.  I do not like to lose, but when it happens, it is important to have a good attitude. I am a catcher and love being behind the plate, but I am proud that my coaches allow us to play different positions.  I think I can help a program because I can play several positions well.  I want to find a school where I can come and play hard for 4 years and help the softball program be successful.  I am not only a hard worker on the field but I also work hard in the classroom.  I am a straight A student and have been since I started school.  My grades come before sports in my family and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to put the time and effort in to keep them up.  I hope that I can use the talent I have been given in softball along with hard work in the classroom to pay for my college costs.  I want to be a Criminal Attorney and fight for the voiceless. I am excited about continuing to work hard towards my goals.  I know that this is just the start and I am ready for the challenge.  Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me.
