Tara Spencer '12 Recruiting Profile

I feel strongly that the way you conduct yourself off the field will reflect the player you are on the field. ! I am a very outgoing and enthusiastic person who devotes my heart and soul to the game of softball. I am 5 ft 3 in tall and weigh 125 lbs. I am a very confident and aggressive outfielder however I am willing to contribute by playing any position the team needs. I am a switch-hitter and spend most of my at-bats in the lead-off position utilizing my speed as a slapper/bunter from the left side. I am currently working on taking full swings from the left; whereas I am also a strong hitter from the right side. I’ve been told I’m a very coachable athlete and bring a lot of energy not only to the dugout but to the field! Having competitive gymnastics in my background has given me the leadership skills as well as the strength mentally and physically to play every game competitively like it’s my last! My most honorable softball moment has been setting the single season stolen base record as a sophomore at 26 steals! I take tremendous pride in my academics and I have a 4.25 GPA with all Honors and AP classes on my schedule. I find that I know how to balance my time wisely and consider a school with a strong medical program to be in my range of focus. My family and friends are my most prized possessions and am looking to be no further than 6 hours away from home. I don’t know what the future holds however I set my goals high and I am looking to play college ball at the highest level I possibly can! I love the game and can’t wait to look back with no regrets!
