Samanta Nelson '23 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations are to buy into the softball programs beliefs. I think by doing that it will allow me to excel in that softball program. I also want to continue to balance softball and school throughout my collegiate softball experience. I am a good candidate for any team because I get along with other players very easily which helps with team chemistry. I am also hard on myself so I am always willing to work on my game.  I also try to keep the team attitude positive because it is good to know that a teammate will be there to have your back. I am different from other recruits because of my compatibility with other people.  This part of my character really allows for the team vibe to be hospitable instead of hostile.  Athletically, I have always been the girl that is naturally bigger and stronger than other players. That has always given me a small advantage over other players, but it has never been a reason for me to work less.  Academically, I have always been able to keep up with my grades. This year during my varsity high school season I made the All- Conference Academic Team. I always make sure to get the help I need when it comes to my academics, so that I am always eligible to play.  These are just some of  the reasons that I am the right choice for collegiate softball programs.
