At just nine years old, my daughter has already displayed exceptional talent, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game of softball.
Thank you for generously supporting Olanna in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
I love that I get to play with my friends, we make up chants and dances in the dugout and it’s girls supporting girls!
Off the field, I am inspired by my big sis who I have watched played softball since I was a baby. She has helped me and other girls my age in softball. I am a pitcher because of her. To see her now as a a college softball player inspires me to work harder so that one day I can become a college softball player too!
When Olanna was playing the catcher position, her pitching teammate became upset. Olanna immediately called a timeout and ran out to the mound to comfort her and to speak positive words to her. It was the sweetest moment and afterwards many parents complimented Olanna with tears in their eyes about how heartwarming that moment was.
