Pressli loves this sport and her teammates more than life. Her work ethic is like no other. Being great is never good enough!
Thank you for generously supporting Pressli 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.
Pressli loves being challenged and softball challenges her every day on and off the field. Softball is a game of failure both physically and mentally and she uses that to push herself to be the very best every day! In her eyes, if it's not challenging then why do it?
Her biggest inspiration are her teammates. She, of course, plays for herself and love of the game but her true inspiration to work hard and be the best are her teammates. She plays for them, for the team, for the one goal they all have, to be the best to beat the best!
I have had the honor and pleasure to coach her since she was four years old and throughout those years she has earned many awards, but the one thing that I am most proud of is watching her become a true leader, on the field and in life. Even though she is usually one of the youngest on the team, she earns the respect of her teammates and coaches by working the hardest and inspiring others to put in the work.
