Hannah Rogers

A hero to me is a person who is brave, strong, caring and never gives up. One person who I believe is a hero is Hannah Rogers. She is a softball pitcher. She was signed as a free agent by the USSSA pride after attending Florida college. She had amazing stats and was an outstanding softball player all around she had struck out 833 players. I learned a lot about softball from my researching about Hannah.

Hannah's softball stat's are amazing. She played 988 innings and was one of 10 finalists for the 2014 Senior CLASS Award, Rogers earned Most Outstanding Player honors at the 2014 Women's College World Series. Rogers' major in college was event management at UF, Rogers boasts a 3.12 cumulative GPA and started her senior year off right with a GPA of 3.69. With all her after school activities and Publicity she still was an outstanding senior graduate.Hannah had a lot of courage and determination.

Hannah was an all around great ball player. When you are a pitcher it's easy to give up on yourself or on pitching altogether it also is extremely hard to become a famous female athlete in our generation. Many people tell you that you can't or that your chances are very slim. Which in reality is true. Hannah Rogers knew that her chances were very small and never dreamed of becoming one of the best pitchers in college league, or winning best female college athlete from ESPN. Her accomplishment are incredible and don't happen to many people.

Well I was doing research for Hannah Rogers I learned a lot about the sport I love. When you are in doubt you have to believe in your pitch and you to have a lot of determination and more than that, Your body has to be physically strong but even stronger mentally, you need to test yourself, go past your boundaries and keep trying, lastly, when you're under pressure you have to be able to still pull through for your team. I found one paragraph from an article about rogers where she had said, " There are a lot of times when I'm not doing so well that I can second-guess myself out there on the mound and not trust my pitches. No pitcher is perfect," Rogers said. "Those are the times where I have to tell myself when I'm out there throwing that, 'this is just a game, just go out there and have fun with it, and if they beat you on your best pitch, then they beat you.' As long as you gave your all, that's what counts." "

In my research I had lots of options of people I could have chosen for my hero but Hannah Rogers just seemed to be a remarkable person and she sets a good example. At first I thought that all heroes have to have super powers or have to be famous but that's not true. Everyone has different heroes, mine just seems to be a young woman who had determination and had motivation to keep going and achieve her dreams.
