From trauma to triumph. Emalee found healing and purpose on the mound. One year in, she’s pitching 55+ mph and shining with heart.

Pitching makes me feel strong, safe, and free. It’s where I found myself again and every pitch reminds me I’m capable of anything.
Coach Yano inspires me on and off the field believing in me, pushing me to grow, and showing me what true strength and heart look like.
The proudest moment was being named starting pitcher. I felt seen, trusted, and knew all my hard work and heart truly mattered. I learned that no one can hold me back from my dreams.
