So working on my rise ball spins, curve ball spins, and making sure those are consistent so that in game they are very just con consistent and making sure that I'm hitting my spots . I also am a hitter, so making sure to balance the hitting and p pitching is definitely hard, but I'm able to get in the like the practice facility after practice and get my swings in and making sure that I can balance both is something that's been very important to me . So for me in high school, I came in as a freshman and I had to be the starting pitcher, which for me it wasn't really anything different because I played travel ball for so long .
But there was weekends that I was gone and I would miss out on a bunch of things . And that was definitely a hardship of making sure my priorities were right, but making sure that I was still a student and a friend to other people and not making softball all 100% my life, but then also making sure that I'm getting in the work in so that I can be in the gym when other people aren't and making sure that I'm getting the work in that I need to to be at that high level . Yeah .
I am majoring in elementary education in early childhood and managing academics and athletics has been uh challenging at some points but for me it's been easy to time manage and block off times in my schedules that I can study . I have we are required eight um study hours a week and that has definitely helped me time manage of going and doing my study hours and getting all of my schoolwork done so that when I go back to the dorm I can shut down for the night and relax and then get up the next morning and lift and practice and so it's been a bit of a challenge but making sure that you're time managing and um balancing everything has been important so in the NIL space I have definitely seen a lot of um big impact that people have had . Um I am partnering with um Athletic Thread to make my like gear and stuff like that .
I am a very big spin pitcher . So working on my rise ball spins, curve ball spins, and making sure those are consistent so that in game they are very just con consistent and making sure that I'm hitting my spots . I also am a hitter, so making sure to balance the hitting and p pitching is definitely hard, but I'm able to get in the like the practice facility after practice and get my swings in and making sure that I can balance both is something that's been very important to me .
Um, it was definitely a great experience and I wouldn't have exchanged it for the world because it allowed me to open so many doors in the state of Wisconsin and put me on a platform that I wouldn't expect to be on . Definitely a challenge that I had was focusing on and putting on putting work in all the time just because as a student in high school and as a teenager, you want to go hang out with your friends and you want to not miss out on homecoming and all these different events . But there was weekends that I was gone and I would miss out on a bunch of things .
