"Most people don't want to be part of the process; they just want to be part of the outcome. But in the process is where you figure out who's worth being part of the outcome." - Carey Lohrenz
"Izabella Adams is one to never back down from a softball challenge. Has regularly played against older players and held her own. A true competitor with the heart of a lioness."

Positive Influences
Encouragement
My observations of Izabella Adams are:
1. Great attitude on & off the field. Never seen her act out in anyway and has a positive attitude and a smile that seldom leaves her face.
2. Competitive - she likes competition and often has played up at higher age levels. She works the batter while on the mound pitching.
3. Coachable - one of her best qualities is that she takes coaching well, listening intently and trying / executing what she is taught.
4. Hardworking - She is always working at her pitching or hitting. She also works on her physical fitness and agility outside of normal practices.
5. All the above off the field as well. Whether it is school studies, music or art she pours everything she has into it.

Beach time with Softball Tournaments is a rule, somewhere, I'm sure of it.

"When thinking about Izabella's athletic ability only one word comes to mind and that word is NOTHING. There is Nothing she can't do when she puts her mind to it. She will stop at Nothing to be the best. I always knew when I needed her as a Coach I had Nothing to worry about. She is a true joy to coach and I consider myself lucky to have had that opportunity."
