Next Level U Statement
I am a class of 2026 catcher playing for the Huron Perth Nationals who is passionate about continuing my softball career at the post-secondary level with a highly competitive softball program. My long-term goal is to further my studies to become a firefighter.
As a catcher, I am a valuable asset to any team, contributing through leadership, play-calling, defensive control and a high softball IQ. In game, I manage the game from behind the plate, guide pitchers, read situations quickly, and make smart decisions under pressure. During the season and off-season I workout at fit4less Stratford and lift weights 3-5 times a week. My work ethic and drive constantly improve my skills both offensively and defensively.
I am eager to continue developing as an athlete and a student, while competing at the next level in an environment that values commitment, discipline, and growth.
