I have wanted to follow an athlete from high school to college to wherever the road leads. Recently, I hope to have taken the first step in accomplishing that.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Savannah Czornomor, a senior high school softball player in New Jersey. Savannah committed to Wagner College late last year.
A versatile player, Savannah plays third base, shortstop, outfield and is a right-handed pitcher. She racked up lofty stats and a lot of awards and accolades in her first three years of high school softball and also while playing club ball.
Savannah impressed me with her maturity and poise. Many professional athletes were far less comfortable in interviews. Savannah made my job easy.
Her plans are to continue playing at Wagner College in New York. After that, she isn't quite as certain, but she has plenty of time to figure it out. While professional softball opportunities are limited now, they are much better than several years ago. By the time Savannah leaves Wagner, who knows what pro opportunities there will be.
This is the beauty of this journey. I intend to follow her path wherever it leads. I hope it will be entertaining and informative for all, but especially for young athletes in similar situations.
