Tabitha Bailey '22 Recruiting Profile

I started out in competitive gymnastics and I worked everyday, every week. While I was in gymnastics, I would go watch my friends and my Dad coach. While doing that I desired a general liking to Softball. I quit gymnastics at the age of 11, which I did since I was 6. I then started softball at age 11, starting with rec softball. I noticed that in rec ball I found my passion for the game and I worked so hard to become a better athlete. I would go out by myself and hit into the net or I would have my parents help me with my defense. I still do these today to become a better athlete and to strive to be better. Once I transitioned into travel softball I realized that this was something I wanted to do in college. I am a hard-working person and a great teammate. 

In my life without softball, I tend to workout and become stronger. My mom is a Dietitian and both my parents are gym fanatics. This is kind of how I got into being more healthy and keeping my body strong and healthy.  I've always wanted to be a Pediatrician because I loved kids. I do take classes about the human body and I do want to go into the medical field. The reason I want to be a pediatrician is because I hate seeing little kids sick and I want to help them get better and be healthy.

Another thing I love to do is babysit. I love to work with little kids because of my experience with my little brother whom I babysit a lot. I aspire to be a teacher to help little kids grow and learn to their best abilities. I am not quite sure what my major is at the moment, but it's along the lines of teaching or going into the medical field.

I am a religious catholic. I go to church most Sundays and on holidays. I volunteer at my church events and help out to what is needed.
