Next Level U Statement

I am interested in playing softball at a 4 year institution while obtaining a degree in biology. I would be an asset to any team and contribute through hard work and dedication, being a supportive teammate, and having a strong knowledge of the game. I am a versatile player and contribute in most defensive positions and offensively.

Player Style:

As an offensive player, I definitely focus on contact hitting and getting myself on base as well as moving the runners around the bases; also can contribute with hitting for power.

Defensively my quick transitions and strong accurate arm helps limit extra base hits and makes runners think twice before heading home.

Positivity and supportiveness!

Player Strengths:

I believe myself to be a coachable player. I value feedback and the challenges that my coaches on my team and in clinic/camps have given me. I am always trying to improve myself. I am versatile and meet every challenge with intensity and the drive to do my best for myself and my team. While I believe there is always improvement to be made, I contribute well both offensively and defensively to my team on a consistent basis.
