Sydney Hockett '21 Recruiting Profile

Softball has made such a huge impact on my life.  I started when I was 6 years old on a town tee ball team.  From there, I quickly moved up to fast pitch softball, and this has been my main focus ever since.  Despite my dedication to softball, I have always found the time to stay well rounded by playing competitive golf, basketball, and skiing in the winter.  I love competition and the feeling of achievement.  I am not afraid of hard work and new challenges.

I spent most of my career as a catcher, and I have always accepted a leadership role and have been relied on in many different situations.  Recently, I have taken on the role as center fielder and have really enjoyed being the captain of the outfield.  My coaches would describe me as the backbone of the team and a fierce competitor.  I always give it my all in games and want to be critiqued.  I am always looking to improve and I am open to coaching.  My teammates would describe me as upbeat and positive, even in tough situations.  I will support my team no matter what.

When looking at colleges, I want one that not only challenges my athletic ability, but also my academic development.  I want a coach that I can rely on and will take the time to help me further develop my skills.  I am open to new opportunities and not limited to any region of the country.  Thank you for taking the time to consider me for your program.
