Katie is very coachable as she responds well and understands the game plan and adjustments needed to excel. Her mound presence is outstanding and you can never tell by emotion whether her team is winning or losing by looking at her. Her teammates have tons of confidence in Katie when she toes the rubber because they know when she pitches you are always going to get 110% effort on every pitch. Katie is definitely one of the top pitchers in the nation in her graduating class and is going to get a lot more attention in the coming years. As her coach, I acknowledge all the hard work that Katie has put in to this point and am very thankful to her previous coaches for the job they did her teaching her the game. Our staff is going to continue to develop and take Katie to the next level as we will continue to play on the national stage. Coach Holcombe states \u201c Katie has got a lot of attention the past few months and she deserves every bit of it\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Southeastern Fastpitch League (SEFL) is proud to name Katie Cunane the SEFL’s Fall Spotlight Athlete for 2021.

\nA: Softball was the last sport that I had attempted and I\u2019m so thankful for it. I started playing at eight years old and began pitching at nine. Travel ball became my world\u00a0 at ten years old. After watching the 2019 College World Series in OKC, playing college softball became very important to me.\u00a0 Witnessing the incredible pitching and players, I was inspired to work hard and truly push myself to see just how far I can go (I\u2019m still pushing LOL). \u00a0 Besides softball, I love to cook and hangout with friends. School is also very important as I want to be a doctor when I grow up.<\/p>\n
\nA: One of my favorite softball memories is competing for Team Middle East in the Triple Crown International Cup this past summer in Denver, Colorado.\u00a0 I\u00a0 had never been to Colorado, and when we arrived it was beautiful.\u00a0 \u00a0 The coaches, and most of the girls,\u00a0 were from California,\u00a0 so we did not have a chance to meet before the tournament.\u00a0 At first I was nervous, but once we got onto the softball field, it was like we had known each other forever.\u00a0 The girls were cheering for me at every pitch and during every game.\u00a0 It was awesome.\u00a0 The coaches were amazing, so supportive, and pushing me to do my best. We were playing Team Philipines, an incredible team where each batter had their own approach.\u00a0 This challenged me mentally and physically at every pitch.\u00a0 It was so loud too!\u00a0 Their fans were cheering just like it was the Olympics!\u00a0 \u00a0 I was able to grow in that moment.\u00a0 I realized that softball is more than a sport, it is about the friendships and relationships you make while playing the game.\u00a0 Softball can take you places you never dreamed you\u2019d go.\u00a0 \u00a0 It was truly a special experience, and something I will never forget.<\/span><\/p>\nCoaches Feedback:<\/h3>\n
