Next Level U Statement
Interested in playing softball at a 2-4 year institution, while obtaining an education in kinesiology/sports science leading to a career in the health sciences. As a softball player I aim to build strengths athletically and academically. My strengths include my passion for the game as well as my versatility, leadership and coachability both on and off the field. I bring great success to my team both at the plate and with my speed in the outfield. No distance is too far to get the out and my teammates can count on me to back them up at their bases on every play. My goal is to bring my best to every game, support my team and continue to push myself to become the best I can be.
