What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHarley loves softball because it challenges her, pushes her to grow, and gives her the opportunity to be part of a team. She loves the excitement of competing, learning new skills, and working hard toward a common goal with her teammates. Being an athlete has taught her discipline, confidence, perseverance, and the importance of supporting others. She loves the friendships she has made through softball and the feeling of stepping onto the field knowing she has worked hard to get better.I
On the field, Harley is inspired by Sam Landry and her hitting coach, Haleigh Christopher, a former Marshall University softball player. She admires their skill, dedication, and the way they continue to help her grow as an athlete.
The moment that makes me the most proud of Harley in her sport was watching her represent West Virginia in the All-Star Regional Championship on ESPN+ after winning the state championship. Seeing her take the field and compete at that level was an incredibly proud moment as a parent. It was a reflection of her hard work, dedication, and love for the game. Watching her represent her state and make memories that she will carry with her forever was something we will never forget.
