Samantha Soltis's Softball Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I am a good candidate for a college team because I am a hard working, and dedicated team player.  I do not ask questions when my coach tells me to do something and I get along very well with my teammates.  I give 110% at all times and I respect my coaches and teammates, and always try to be the first one on the field.  Even my coaches have said I am the hardest working player on the team.  I excel in my outfield abilities and have excellent tracking abilities.  My speed gives me an advantage to get to the ball quickly.  I do whatever it takes to make the play.  I am a great base-runner and bunter and hit hard line drives consistently.  I love to dive or slide when then opportunity arises.  I believe I have proven that by being a starting player on the varsity team my freshman year.   My theory is that if you want something, you have to work for it; it is not given to you. 

As far as my academics, I find biology, mathematics, and writing interesting.  My grades reflect my hard work in all my subjects.  I am also in honors band, playing the flute, freshman year as the only freshman in honors.  My goal is to major in biology and eventually become a marine biologist, or work in an elephant sanctuary.  Additionally, I am passionate about softball and would love to play in college. 

I believe these qualities make me an excellent candidate for college teams and I am willing to prove myself in any way possible.
