Amanda Audia '23 Recruiting Profile

I wanted to create a personal statement that shows truth and honesty. I believe the best way to explain who I am and why I will be an asset to any college team is to start by saying I do not consider myself elite, or the best of the best, but I can honestly say I consider myself one of the hardest working and dedicated players on the team, and my results speak for themselves. I believe this sets me apart from others. I can confidently say that you will not find more determination, loyalty or perseverance in a player. I work hard all the time, and am constantly searching for ways to be the best teammate and the most motivated player on the field. I am truly coachable and take pride in my abilities. Softball has created many amazing relationships for me, taught me invaluable lessons and has absolutely molded me into the person I have become. This is why it is important for me to keep playing through my college years. Softball is a piece of me. 

I take the same approach with my academics. I constantly strive to push myself academically by taking honors and AP courses. I have never had a GPA less than 96 and play an active part in my school community. I am not afraid to take a step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I look at each failure as a learning opportunity and each success as a reward for hard work. I know my academic success is what will drive my future success, and finding balance between the two is important to me.
