Tell us about joining the Hotshots and how involved with them?
I joined Hotshots organization in the fall. Coach Nathan Nelson has given me the opportunity to join this elite group of credited players and coaches. Now, I am with Hotshots National-Jones (with the) same organization.
How did your sophomore season go at Lake Minneloa High?
My school ball season was fun, not going to lie. It was great to give to my school and my friends.
Do you have a training method or technique that you would recommend to other players?
I hit every week with Rob Crews and I go to the gym to gain strength. What I would recommend to other players is identifying what is your weakness and work at it. This is something you have to do on your own.
Who is your sports hero and why?
My sports hero is Roberto Clemente. He was a humble, great person on and off the field.
Do you have a secret talent/skill (doesn’t have to be sports-related)?
My secret talent is singing. My first singing competition was at age 6 and I won.
What’s your most memorable softball story?
My most memorable softball story is going 11 for 11 at the Bolts 5 star this fall. I have never done that before.
