Hitting (12.06.20)Personal Statement
My name is Kaleigh Friend, and I attend Des Moines Christian School (2023). I've played softball since I was 4 and competitively since I was 8. I've started varsity both years that I've been eligible to play (8th & Freshman).
I am a very driven, competitive, and humble person on and off the field. I'm very passionate and put everything into what I do at all times.
I also have a very goofy personality, so I really like to have fun in whatever I'm doing especially softball. For example, before almost every game, I like to dance to whatever music is playing or sometimes no music at all to get our team relaxed and hyped up for the game.
Most importantly, I feel like I would be a great asset to any team by my dedication on the field and in the classroom.
