Mary Lou Retton
As with many athletes I started playing sports at a very young age. I tried everything from swimming, to soccer, to football and as I got older I really fell in love with the games of baseball and basketball. Lucky for me they are opposite seasons so I have been able to play both. I have played club in both sports and have played 18u baseball since my freshman year. I am a center fielder and point guard. While I excel in the outfield, I do have experiece with middle infield. Needless to say, I love being the "quarterback" of my teams.
My Support Team
My parents always told me sports are more than just playing a game. That sports will teach you discipline, it will teach resilience, respect, and how to be a good teammate. But none of these attributes of an athlete are possible without a good support team of family, friends, coaches and of course my fellow teammates. I am lucky to have competed through a sports system that helped be grow into the multi athlete I am today, and for that I am forever grateful.
My Winning Philosophy
I believe in sportsmanship first. The sport is the game, and we are all in it together. While I am very competitive, I also want to support all the competitors as we strive to make sports great. I work every day to better myself and to better the game.
Motto: It's not about being the best,
It's about being better than I was yesterday.
