Homerun- 16u-A Fa...Personal Statement
My goal is to combine my athletic talents and scholastic interests into a college career that will better my athletic skills along with preparing me for life after school. I am currently committed to Kankakee Junior College and am also playing travel on the New Lenox Lightning 18 U Gold. My dream is to compete at the highest level possible while I pursue my education. My primary positions are third base and catcher, offensively my strengths are power to the alleys and average. Softball has always been my first love in sports and I would like to continue that passion that has brought two national championships to my travel team, (12U and 14U) , 2nd place in state 2015 IHSA 4A along with a 4th in 2014.
I dream of one day playing for the national title at the collegiate level as well. I have yet to chose a major or field of study in college however, I am looking at the health field leaning towards physical therapy or athletic training. Whichever field I decide to study I will put forth the same effort in the classroom as on the field.
