\nI began playing softball at the age of 9 when my parents decided place me in the La Verne Rec Ball League. I started off wanting to be a pitcher but ended up falling in love with the position behind the plate. I rarely got playtime in the early stages of my softball development but began progressing more as I focused on establishing a firm knowledge of the basics and built upon it from there. I always faced issues when communication came into play and had only overcome this trepidation when I entered the Mercado organization. Here I was pushed to find a solution, as well as progress my command on the field as a catcher.<\/p>\n
\nMy favorite softball memory was during the end of the Team 1 Elite Kansas City tournament when I was dog piled by my team after hitting in the winning run. Everyone that day had put all their effort into each of those games, and it was an earned win for all of us.<\/p>\n
\nBrooklyn is a Coaches dream type Player. She had one of the best summers I have ever seen a player have. All while being a Great Team leader and Teammate.<\/p>\n
