Samera Rideout '22 Recruiting Profile

From the moment I picked up a softball, at the age of seven, I fell in love with the game and all that it desires.  In middle school, I started setting goals to play softball at the highest level.  

Although softball is a huge part of my life, academics are my number one priority.  Aside from playing collegiate softball my biggest aspiration is to make a difference in someone's life.  I consider myself a well-rounded student who has taken five years of Spanish and was a  lead in my school play. I take pride in all my work as a student and plan to attend law school after college and pursue a career as a lawyer. I'm looking to study any major related to law or human tendencies, such as political science or psychology. 

I have had the opportunity to play on a travel team since I was nine years old.  On the field, I have an excellent IQ, am very coachable, and love to learn new things.  I am committed and dedicated to putting the time and effort into becoming the best player and teammate that I can be.  I am a very competitive, hard worker who plays multiple positions. 

As a freshman, I was the starting third baseman and leadoff batter on our varsity team.  At the end of the year, I was awarded MVL honorable mention for our conference and also won athlete of the week once. I am currently on the Vermont Storm 18U College Showcase Team.

I want to find a college that I can push myself in the classroom and on the field.  I know that it is not going to be easy but I am looking forward to the challenge.  Hope to hear from you soon!
