NAME: Amanda Karnatz
HOMETOWN: Elmhurts, IL HIGHSCHOOL: York High School COLLEGE: Lawrence University PRIMARY POSITION: Outfield JERSEY #: 5 "Hi Amanda, your facility and staff are amazing!! We can't thank you enough!! Our athlete is such a sweet girl and I think this is going to help her confidence grow and find "her people." She used to love playing sports and something changed and she lost her confidence along the way, but in that short time with you I could see it coming back. I love the way that you include some character ed in your program - that is so unique and special. We signed up for more classes and will continue to watch for camps. Again, we really appreciate all your kindness and coaching."

"My softball motto is to always work hard to be better on something each day. It can be something small or something big but you need to go into your practices and training with a purpose so you know what you are trying to accomplish. Another motto that one of my coaches always said that has stuck with me is, “You play for the name on the front of your jersey, not the name on the back."
