Gabrielle Caparruva '20 Recruiting Profile

My main goal in college is to prepare myself for my life ahead.  I am looking to major in illustration as well as education.  I’m always learning little by little and want to help others do the same thing..  I have had to overcome 2 learning disabilities so I know what it’s like to struggle.  Thank goodness I have great teachers who work with me on the days that can be fought for me.

As far as being a good teammate or candidate goes, I love the game of softball .  I’m a pitcher and had to work for everything.  My parents and coaches tell me I haven’t even thrown my best stuff yet that I’m a work in progress.   I have all of the pitches, I just need some more speed on my 4 seam fastball. I love being with my teammates and just making them laugh.  I can be a little out there because while we play hard and to win, we need to have fun because it is a game.

Academically, my world is art.  I love art in all forms, music, theater, dance, all of it.  I play the violin, act on stage and had a voice coach for a long time..  Our family is very artistic in all of these areas as well.  My old performing arts schools just gave me an internship for the summer, learning how to run  theater productions and the school which I’m very excited about.  I also help out at my Dad’s real estate company where I work with the agents and help them with their paperwork and clients.

Coaches, I am what my Dad calls a "late bloomer".  I improve little by little and he says that I show "glimpses" of what I can do on the field. I'm just getting my motion where I want it and my fastball just keeps improving. My swing is coming together and I always work on my fielding.  I know in my heart that my best in this game is yet to come.  I truly love the sport and just love to play.   Most of all, please know that I will give my best, try to make you laugh., be a great teammate and play my heart out for you.  Thank you, Gabby Caparruva.
