Rising Star Influencer: Chanell Estrada

Rising Star Influencer Chanell Estrada may be early in her softball journey, but her voice already carries. A Class of 2032 competitor from California and a member of the 10U West Rising Stars Watch List, Chanell suits up for the Corona Angels 10U and plays with purpose, poise, and a team-first mindset. Her perspective is unusually mature for her age—and worth hearing.

As a Rising Star Influencer, Chanell explores two core questions that shape every dugout: “What Makes a Great Teammate?” and “How Do You Build Self-Confidence?” Drawing on travel-ball experience with the Angels, she breaks down the habits that matter most—showing up early, communicating clearly, lifting others after mistakes, and competing with positive energy.

Chanell also opens up about confidence as a daily practice, not a mood: trusting preparation, embracing feedback, and remembering that effort is the one thing an athlete controls. Her message is simple and strong: when you believe in your work and in your teammates, you give your team its edge.
