Selene Garza '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Selene Garza, I am a junior at Zapata High School located in Zapata, Texas. I plan to major in nursing and minor in kinesiology. The purpose of this statement is to express my desire and passion to pursue softball at the next level. Softball has already offered me so many amazing opportunities and has connected me with fantastic coaches and players who I look up to as role models.  My ultimate goal is to play softball at the college level. I am not overly concerned of the division level; I just want to be on the field with a team. I am willing to put whatever it takes in becoming the best softball player I’m capable of being. I fully understand that academics are the most essential element of college but I believe that being part of a team creates life long bonds, teamwork, and character. Throughout my high school years I have always tested myself with difficult classes like AP and honors classes. I believe that the only way to get better at something is by challenging and pushing yourself to the limit. This is why I find softball so appealing. Softball is not an easy game. It’s a game of precision, timing, and focus. I once heard that if softball was easy, everybody would play it.
