The one thing I really wanted for Christmas was to attend the UNLV elite camp and I'm thrilled that my parents made my wish come true. College camps are always fun but the UNLV coaches and the girls who attended really made the camp an amazing experience.
I recognize what an important opportunity it is to showcase myself as a potential future Rebel. I was
determined to play smarter, run faster and hit harder than everyone else. What happened was so much
better . . . I had a blast, made new friends, and was so, in the moment from start to finish. I never forgot what was at stake but because I focused on my love of the game, I played better. Over the three day camp I learned a lot. Here are the most valuable lessons that I learned.
Have a Great Attitude and Have Fun
These two go hand in hand, so in my mind they are the same thing. The game of softball is fast, if you
make an error you need to shake it off immediately and focus on making the next play. Let's say you
have a bad at bat (it happens) when you get in the dugout redirect that frustration by rallying for your
team. Your attitude will determine how you perform. Someone told me this a long time ago and it is
so true. "Boys need to win to have fun and girls need to have fun to win." From my own experiences
I find that when I'm having fun, I usually play better and when my entire team is having fun, we are
usually winning.
Be Coachable
90% of the Game is Mentality
Say No to Big Hair Bows
My 2 Cents - On Becoming The 1%
Many high school students dream of becoming a college athlete but the reality is only 1% of all
college students are collegiate athletes. I plan on being the 1% and chances are, if your reading
this you have the same dream. I'm happy to share with you how I plan on becoming the 1%. . .
I'm fearlessly chasing my dreams, pursuing my goals with conviction and gusto. I hit the books
as hard as I hit the field. Everyday I push past my comfort zone and chase after my goals like
their is no tomorrow. I know with 100% certainty that in 2016 I will reach my goal of attending
a college, as a student-athlete.
