Mollie Charest '20 Recruiting Profile

My accomplishments:

I am a 4th year varsity starting pitcher having led my high school team (Monomoy Regional High School) as four time League Champions. I am a three time League MVP and three time league All star as I finish my Junior year.

I was hand picked by the Softball Factory scouting staff at one of my recent tournaments as a Pre-Season All American in January 2018. (Please see below for my evaluation summary by Lee Ann Jarvis)

In 2017, I was  sought out  and was coached by former two time Gold Medal Olympic Coach, Ralph Raymond. I was chosen as one of two pitchers from New England to be an Eagle on his 18U showcase team. 

In 2015, I was fortunate to be able to work with the Chinese Olympic team and their pitching coach at Springfield College in Springfield, Ma.

My strengths include my stamina and mental confidence on the mound.  I am a team leader.  Keeping my head up during the game is very important under any and all circumstances. I believe the key to success is maintaining a positive attitude. I have been complimented by my private, as well as, team coaches for being very coachable. and having excellent work ethic.  I thrive on any knowledge that I receive,  taking in  all perspectives, making them my own, and  using them to my teams advantage.

Having always played above my age level and level of competition, has increased maturity level on and off the field. I have always strived to play to the next level in hopes of playing for a highly competitive school at the collegiate level.

I am interested in going to school for Forensic psychology/criminal justice.  My educational goals are to obtain a bachelor  degree and eventually moving on to an advanced degree program. I am looking for a school that will balance both my educational and athletic interests.
