Personal Statement

I am currently enrolled at Brownsburg High School in Brownsburg, Indiana. I'm still currently considering different fields for my future. I do however know that I wish to expand my athletic and academic career from a high school level to a collegiate level. I have been playing softball since I was 5 years old, now I have been playing for 10+ years and I have learned a lot about self confidence and teamwork. I've been told by my lifting coach, travel coaches, and my high school coaches, that I have a very hardworking work ethic on and off the field. I always try to push myself a little more every time.

I play travel softball with the Indy Dreams Bell 16u. My coach is Doug Atkisson, His contact information is below if you have any questions.

I currently have a 3.7 GPA and I'm enrolled in honor classes and AP classes. I believe that I'm different compared to the other recruits because of my passion for the sport, by the amount of support I give to my teammates, and by my work ethic. I will work hard daily, I will push limits that are not even set yet. I will not only try to make myself a better student athlete, but make our organization a strong, supportive family.

A fun Fact about me is that I love to compete in the weight room. I love lifting and I love overcoming a hard lift. I can back squat 245, bench 150, and clean 175. Not only does it help relieve stress for me, but it makes me a better athlete.  I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college that will push me on and off the field.

If there's anything I can do to help you decide whether I might be a good fit for your program please do not hesitate to ask. 

Thank you for taking the time and reading this,
