Caitlin Huberty '20 Recruiting Profile

Starting as a freshman varsity shortstop was both humbling and scary.   My competitive nature pushed me to do my best as I performed at a very high level.   The leadership of the upperclassmen accepting me in this role motivated me to always put others in front of myself.   It wasn't always that easy though.   After not making the 14u travel softball team I was hoping to play for, I went to a tryout for Fox Valley Heat.   I've played the past two years for this competitive program .   It taught me that things happen for a reason and to keep a positive attitude.   

I got involved in softball at age 6.  I grew up watching my older brother compete in baseball.   Watching others compete shaped the way I wanted to be viewed as a competitor.   I learned that people paid attention more to your reaction after failure than after success.   I realized long ago that positive attitude is contagious.   I believe that effort, honesty, and respect are the most important qualities to have as a person.   If you are looking for a student-athlete that honors these qualities, is a fierce competitor, great teammate, and student, then I am the person for you!   I have the ability and desire to play at the college level and I will make your program better.
