Emma McLaughlin '19 Recruiting Profile

I started playing softball when I was seven years old, and have been playing competitively since I was nine.  Over the last ten years, I have been called on by my team to play all positions in the infield.  I pride myself on my flexibility to achieve success wherever I am asked to perform on the field.  My strongest defensive positions are 1B and 3B.   In the Fall of 2016, I joined a group of talented athletes on the 18U Gold Batbusters team and look forward to continuing my success with them this Summer.  My goal as a student athlete is to maintain my high academic standards and to continue to strengthen both the mental and physical aspects of my game.  My high school, Carondelet, is a private school which strives to academically push their students to their full potential.   In my sophomore year, I completed both honors chemistry and honors algebra two with trigonometry.  In my junior year, I am scheduled to take Honors Spanish 3, Honors Biology, AP Language, and AP Calculus.  Together with hard work and determination, I want to play college softball at the highest level possible and receive an education that can provide me with the best opportunities to build a successful career.
