Leadership Lessons from a Class of 2027 Standout
For Class of 2027 standout Emily Perone, leadership started long before she ever stepped onto the field in uniform. Ranked No. 91 infield in the Extra Elite 100, the St. Louis Chaos infielder brings more than just skill to her team—she brings a deep understanding of what it means to lead. Her journey began as a bat girl watching her sister play, and over the years, she’s discovered that true leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room—it’s about the everyday moments of support, selflessness, and strength that often go unseen.
In this personal essay, Perone reflects on the lessons she’s learned about leadership—from the dugout to the diamond—and how those lessons have shaped the player and teammate she’s becoming.
