Amaya Mendeguia '21 Recruiting Profile

I have all the qualities necessary to be a successful collegiate student, and softball player.  To begin with, I am extremely hardworking.  I am willing to put in the time and the effort to make sure that I am successful in any endeavor in which I am involved.  I know what it means to be successful in school and to play at a competitive level.  I play on a team in California, and spend a total of five hours on the road to practice and back home.  I complete my homework on the trip to make sure that I maintain my high GPA (3.72).  My hard work has paid off, I compete on a high level travel team, made the varsity team at Carson High School as a freshman (receiving an Honorable Mention Regional Award), and have been accepted as a member of the National Honor Society for my excellent grades.

In addition to being a good student and hardworking, I am a competitive athlete as well.  I have been playing travel softball since I was eight, and I began traveling over the hill to California to compete at a higher level when I began 14U. I play the corner positions: first and third.  I have a strong arm, and a throwing speed of 60.  I am a power hitter.  My exit speed was recorded at the OnDeck Jamboree in Colorado (2018) at 74 MPH.  I have an excellent attitude on and off the field.  I believe in a strong sense of team and a positive energy while competing.  I also believe in leadership, and being a positive leader on my team. 

I dream about being a part of the softball experience at the next level, and I also dream about having a career in Health Science one day.  I am looking for a school that offers a degree in my career interests, and that has a competitive softball program.  Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me.
