Stephanie Villalobos '24 Recruiting Profile

Since at a young age, I was always interested in sports.  But one day as we were driving by the softball fields a softball game caught my attention.  I knew at that moment I wanted to try it out.  And sure enough, the moment I stepped foot on the field, I fell in love with the sport.  From that day forward, softball has been my life.

I was placed in the catcher position on my first season at the age of 8yrs old and that has been my main position ever since.  As time passed by, I knew I wanted to not only play softball in the little league but also in high school and even at the collegiate level.  I set my mind to make it to varsity my freshman year and in order to accomplish my goal, I began getting training sessions for catching and conditioning when I was in middle school.  Not only did I make it to varsity my freshman year, I also got the starting catching position.  My training has not only helped me get to varsity, but it has mainly helped me improve to be a better player for my team.

My love for the game has pushed me to not only do good on the field but also off the field.  Although I sometimes struggle academically due to my dyslexia, I do not allow that to stop me from doing good in school.  Softball is my #1 motivation.  I am a team player, I like to motivate my teammates to be the best I know they can be.  I have been told by coaches that I am a very coachable player.  I am always eager to learn and welcome any criticism that helps me improve my game.

My goal and dream are to continue playing at the collegiate level after I graduate from high school.  I would like to become a softball coach and share my love of softball with future generations.
