Meredith Amrhein '18 Recruiting Profile

I am looking forward to playing softball while attending a great college.  I plan to obtain my BS degree and then apply to medical school.  I especially enjoy visiting with the elderly families in my community and would like to focus my career around Geriatrics.  When I have extra time, I love to paint and draw.  I also enjoy distance running and spending time outdoors.  I took online leadership training in the summer of 2015 and volunteered as a camp intern with Camp Invention.   I worked with young children who had interest in STEM.  I feel the leadership training and skills I learned will help me throughout my life.  

I play both select and high school softball.  I play for the Varsity Team at The Colony High School in The Colony, Texas.  I am competitive; my mom and dad said they noticed this quality about me when I was very young.  I use to play goalie in soccer, but I found my love for softball at around 12 years of age.  Typically my primary position is catcher although I often play 3rd base for my high school team.  I take hitting and catching lessons, but also consider myself a good utility player.  Both my softball and hitting coaches state I am very teachable and a good athlete.  I have a strong bat and can get around the bases quickly as demonstrated by my uploaded videos.   I love to run and steal bases!  I consider myself a good teammate and love to learn techniques that can improve both myself and my team.  I consider myself a good citizen and I have the ability to get along with others.  I am both mentally and physically tough.   I would love the opportunity to show you my skills as they continue to improve with instruction and hard work.
