Ashleigh U14 2017...
October 2017Personal Statement
My name is Ashleigh Hughes. I am currently a freshman at Bellingham High School in Massachusetts where I will be graduating in 2021. I play softball and soccer for my school, along with dance at “Feet in Motion” dance studio.
In college, I wish to play softball because that is the sport I am most passionate for. I love softball because it is fun and very competitive. From batting to fielding, I have loved softball ever since I started when I was 5. I believe I am a unique player for many reasons; one being that I am a slapper with fast speed and smart base-running. I have been slapping for over 3 years and play all positions in the outfield while commonly playing Center Field. I also play 2nd Base in the infield where I play occasionally.
For my studies in college, I am extremely interested in Science with a focus on Astronomy or Marine Biology. In school, I am in all Honors classes and play trumpet for my school band. I am a solid “A” student and strive to do my best in each class. For hobbies, I am an avid reader, write short stories and knit crafts. I also am in National Junior Honor Society where I volunteer to help the community at school and church.
By having the honor of gaining an education at a great college while also playing softball, I could help out the team, grow from the leadership of the coaching staff each day, and most importantly, have fun!

- Instructed by Veteran Instructor, Running Slapper and Providence College Alum Kiki Baldassari and in collaboration with Lauren Haeger, this running slap program is designed to develop the slapping foundation and is the solution for the slapper to become more aware of all aspects of the game from understanding the short game, reading the defense, and becoming more dynamic at the plate.
