Who are you?
My name is Macy Seidel, a sophomore at Flower Mound High School (Flower Mound, Texas) graduating in the class of 2027. Softball is a major part of my life and has shaped me into who I am today.
How did your softball journey begin?
I first started playing softball in 1st grade because my best friend wanted me to come play with her for fun, and from there the game became so much more to me.
What are your greatest strengths as a softball player?
My greatest strengths as a softball player are my mental toughness and competitiveness. Mental toughness has gotten me through the bad games, bad seasons, and hard days. It is something I have learned over time, and it has allowed me to not let people and circumstances change what I believe about myself and my team. My competitiveness keeps me going because failing is not an option, and I will do anything to succeed, even if that means my role on the team needs to change.
What kind of hitter are you, and what are your most recent offensive stats?
I am a power hitter. Currently in my high school season, I'm batting .470, while in my fall 2024 travel season, I finished batting .381, leading my team in homeruns and RBIs.
What is your favorite sports memory and greatest achievement?
My favorite sports memory is when I was in a frustrating slump for a few weeks during my freshman high school season, and in my first game back in the lineup, I went 2-2 with 2 homeruns. This is my greatest achievement because it taught me that
hard work behind the scenes will always speak for itself.
How do you handle adversity and even failure?
In games, I handle failure by cracking my knuckles once, and after that, I have to move on. Although the long-term adversity and failure, I work harder because I know hard work will never fail me.
How would your teammates and friends describe you?
My teammates would describe me as a leader with a bubbly personality.
Who is your role model and or idol, and why?
My softball role model is my hitting coach because she has a very hardworking attitude and doesn’t let outside factors determine her day and what she does with it.
If you could spend a day with any softball player, former or current, who would it be and why?
I would spend a day with Jayda Coleman because I admire her life on and off the field, always keeping God as the center.
What are your softball dreams and goals?
My softball goal is to play at the next level outside of Texas!
What is your favorite jersey number, and why did you choose it?
My favorite jersey number is 95. I first chose it because I wanted a number that very few other people had, and I’ve stuck with 95 ever since.
What other hobbies do you have to balance out softball and your personal life?
I enjoy hanging out with my friends as much as I can, and when I have a free Sunday, I enjoy going to church. Whenever I get the time, I also enjoy hunting and fishing.
Who would you like to thank for your softball achievements and support?
I would like to thank my family for their unconditional support and for working hard to give me the opportunities I have. I would especially like to thank my dad because he spends countless hours with me traveling and at the ballpark. I would also like to thank all my coaches, past and current, because they have made me the player I am today.
