By Giggle Magazine

GRACE MCDANIEL 

AGE 10 

How long have you been involved in softball? 

I have played softball for two and a half years. Two seasons of rec softball and two seasons of travel ball. 

What do you like best about it? 

I love spending time with my friends on and off the field. My favorite part of softball is being on the mound pitching. I’ve work very hard at it every week and people can see the progress I’ve made. 

What team do you play for? 

I play for Santa Fe Inferno 10U. I pitch, and play both outfield and infield positions but short stop and center field are my favorite. 

Would you like to go to college or the Olympics and continue on in softball? 

Yes, I would like to play in the Olympics and play softball in college. It would be fun to represent the United States in the sport that I love and continue playing in high school and in college if possible, and the Olympics one day. 

Who is your athlete inspiration? 

My big sister, Olivia. She played softball at Queen of Peace Catholic Academy two years ago and currently plays at a Buchholz High School. She has helped me learn things I wouldn’t have learned until later and she has taught me to always put my team’s needs before mine. 

Share anything else you would like us to know! 

I also enjoy playing soccer, tennis and I plan to run track next year at Queen of Peace Catholic Academy. I enjoy playing sports because of the competition and the progress that is made by hard work.
