What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreWhat I love most about playing softball is being with my teammates and competing. I love making big plays, hitting the ball, and helping my team win. It’s also really fun because I get to spend time with my friends and keep getting better at the game.
My dad inspires me both on and off the field because he always pushes me to work hard and never give up. He teaches me to believe in myself, even when things get hard. He supports me at my games and in everything I do, and I hope I can make him proud.
