About the Author

I’m Catharine Aradi, softball recruiting consultant and owner of Collegiate Softball Connection. I'm an active member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, and I work with athletes and colleges all over the U.S. and Canada. In the past twenty years, I've worked directly with over 2500 softball players, and I have helped thousands more through my book, Preparing to Play Softball at the Collegiate Level. In addition, I conduct workshops on the college search process, and I am considered one of the very best resources in the country on collegiate (softball) recruiting by players and their families, youth and college coaches alike. 

In 2007, StudentSportsSoftball.com polled over 250 of the top youth coaches in the country to find out who they consider the most influential people in fastpitch.  Coaches were invited to nominate 3 people, and StudentSportsSoftball.com put together a list of the “Ten Most Influential People in Softball.”  Catharine Aradi was number eight on the list which included Olympians Jenny Finch & Lisa Fernandez, former UCLA head coach Sue Enquist & USA Olympic coach Mike Candrea.
