Jolie Schexnaider '23 Recruiting Profile

Sports is a major part of my life.   I am an accomplished Cross-Country runner, but my favorite sport and passion is softball.  I have been playing softball since I am 4 years old, and my passion for softball has accelerated over the past 4 years playing more competitive softball for my Middle School and Club teams.  I play softball because this sport is something I truly love doing, and I appreciate every second I get when I am on that field. Softball is a game of failure, but to me that is what makes it great. It pushes me to be the best player I can be, even when I fail.

Softball has made me realize that the way I carry myself on and off the field is more important than how good I am.  Through softball, I have also learned to be compassionate, grateful, honest and humble with myself and others I play with.  These qualities have made me very coachable and willing to do anything to help my team.  I have also learned to be a leader for my teammates.   My family, coaches and mentors motivate me to be the best ME I can be on and off the field. My desire for this game continues to grow each day.  

I have learned to use my own skill set as a slapper/hitter/bunter and an intelligent 2^nd Baseman and Utility Player.  I am an advanced slapper for my age.  I am a fast runner and can outrun a lot of plays.  I believe that getting on base, scoring runs and solid defense are vital in helping a team compete.  In addition, I have been taught great foot work at second base and other positions. 

I am currently a 4.0 student, and my academic goal is to maintain a 4.0 GPA throughout High School.   I plan on studying Pre-Medicine in college in hopes of getting into a Medical school and ultimately fulfilling my goal of becoming a Pediatrician someday. 

I am excited to pursue my academic and athletic goals in college.  I would love to get a quality education and compete in the sport I love at the next level.  I think I bring a special/diverse set of skills that would help any team.
