Coach's Evaluation
KEITH STONEBRAKER, HEAD SOFTBALL COACH, DELMARVA CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL
Athletic ability: 8/10
Leadership: 10/10
Team player: 10/10
Easy to work with: 10/10
Ability: "Jordyn is an above average athlete. She is a very strong kid with very good body awareness and control. She has average speed and average arm strength. She has above average power and very good hands. As a freshman she led the varsity team in extra base hits, batting average and fewest strike outs. She is a very good player, but what sets her apart is her nonstop motor. She goes hard on every play, every day, whether it's practice or a game."
Personality: "Jordyn is a coach's dream. She is a leader and team first player. She has a level of maturity way beyond her years. Even as a freshman her teammates, including upperclassmen, looked up to her and followed her example. She has an outstanding work ethic and brings great effort and attitude every day. She is confident in her abilities but still one of the most humble and coachable players I've ever been around. She is very vocal but always encouraging and picking up her teammates and stays positive when she is facing her own struggles. She is the type of kid that makes everyone else around her better, yet always wants to give the credit to those around her. She is the complete package. "

Personal Message
Why I Deserve the Shot to Play at the College Level
I believe I have the physical characteristics needed to compete at the elite level of college softball such as my power, speed and agility, coordination, and bat speed. Throughout my years of playing softball, I have developed strong emotional control, an attentive focus on the game and my Team mates while demonstrating the ability to cope with stress and failure. I have a competitive drive that fuels me to give everything I have at all times and overcome times of adversity. I am known for my quick decision making/game sense, excellent understanding of the game, communication skills on the field at all times, and great fundamental skills. Most importantly, I am a great team player, have an incredible work ethic, and am an optimistic and determined leader who has a positive attitude and “coach-able” mind set to get better in all I do.
A Personal Note to My Prospective Coach
Should you decide to make a strategic bet on me and I am fortunate enough to be recruited by you, I can whole heartedly promise that I will never squander the opportunity given to me. I am confident NO ONE will out work me, I will exceed your expectations while bringing positive results to your program, and I WILL NOT let you down. Thank you for your consideration.
