Next Level U Statement

My objective as a future student-athlete is to continue growing both academically and athletically while challenging myself to become the best version of myself. Academically, I want to pursue a degree in Kinesiology , as I have a strong interest in understanding the human body, athletic performance, and helping others reach their physical goals. I am committed to maintaining strong grades and making the most of the educational opportunities that come with playing softball at the next level.

Athletically, my goal is to continue developing as a right-handed pitcher and versatile player .

While competing at the highest level possible. I want to continue improving my pitching velocity, command, pitch movement, consistency, and overall understanding of the game. I also want to become a stronger offensive and defensive player who can contribute in multiple ways and be a dependable teammate.

I understand that playing University/college softball requires much more than athletic ability. It takes discipline, commitment, resilience, time management, and a willingness to learn from coaches and teammates. I want to be part of a program where I can contribute to the team, continue developing as a player, and push myself academically and personally.

My long-term aspiration is to graduate from a University with a degree in Kinesiology – to be come a Physio Therapist, while competing at the collegiate level. I want to leave my University career knowing that I gave everything I had—not only to softball, but also to my education, my teammates, and the person I am becoming. My goal is to use the opportunities that softball provides to build a successful future both on and off the field.
