Haley Kohnen '18 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing softball since I guess around the age of 5. I started off playing the town Little League team and as I got to around the 10 u age I started playing for the O'Fallon Tomahawks and have stayed with them ever since then. I have played all through my Junior High and now going into my High School careers. My primary position is a starting pitcher for the select team and also now start some Varsity and most JV games in High School. I attend both hitting and pitching lessons during the week and make sure to get better as the weeks go on. I have had issues with my confidence in the past and it has brought me down in certain situations and it just gets in my head and seems to run my game. But as the years have come I have really improved on my strength and confidence. I have learned that if you let people get into your head they are the ones controlling what you are capable of not you. I love being on a team, being on a team really helps me get through the tough situations because I know that I always have them there to back me up if I make the mistakes. I as a teammate am very friendly and do what I can to be close with the girls and make them feel special and apart of the team. My ultimate goal is to make it somewhere in college softball as a pitcher, I have watched college softball since I was a little girl looking up to these players always saying how that is going to be me on TV one day. Besides pitching I am also a Left Fielder, and can play 1st and 3rd base!
