Bio
“There have been so many amazing athletes in the sport of softball across the nation so to be honored for this award is everything,” said Canady. “I want to thank my coaches and my teammates. Without them, this would not be possible. They push me every day to be better. And I also want to thank my parents for sacrificing so much and allowing me to live out my dream.”
