Mattie Beakley '21 Recruiting Profile

I am looking forward to graduating in the top 10% of my high school class.  I will most likely be pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Education.  I have been playing softball since I was 6 years old.  It wasn't until I was 10 that I realized that I wanted to play in a more competitive league.  I enjoyed being a part of the team atmosphere and I have never minded going to team practices, hitting or pitching lessons.  I have enjoyed being around other girls who encourage and support each other with the same goals in mind. We push each other as a team and work to be better individuals on and off the field.  Every season, we set our goals higher as a team and as individuals.  I have learned what dedication is by being involved in sports.  I have enjoyed pushing myself to be better by attending camps and playing travel ball.  I have learned about time management and commitments to myself and team.  My dad is a fifth generation farmer and he has taught me about patience, endurance and worth ethic.  My parents have taught me that I can do anything that I am willing to work for and put my mind to.
