Help Jennifer Feret Compete in the 2016 Softball World Championships

As a small town Boardman kid I never thought my dreams of playing International Softball at the highest level would ever come true! Moreover, I never foresaw the opportunity to be a part of something so much bigger than myself!

Softball has taken me on a whirlwind journey across the World where I have made lifelong friends and memories. I've had the privilege to help grow the game and the passion for softball all around the World!

Because of softball I have found a home, a husband, and a life for myself here in New Zealand. I am ever so grateful to be taken in by NZ and given the opportunity to be apart of it's National Representative Softball Team, the New Zealand White Sox.

In July I will be going away to compete in the 2016 Softball World Championships in Surrey, Canada. Unfortunately, this is a self funded trip and raising $5,000NZD while working a full time job and training to be the best pitcher, batter and fielder I can possibly be, isn't an easy feat.

Coming off of NZ Club Nationals as the top pitcher and MVP was a great start. However, I'm not training to be the best in NZ, I'm training to be the best in the World! Whether or not that is possible, my days start at 4:30am and I'm out the door by 5 to get to the gym. After a good gym session I fit in a full day's work and some visualisation at lunch if I can and then top off my day with some pitching, batting and/or fielding. I get home about 8pm at which time I inhale some dinner and then pack my bags for the next day. Sleep and repeat!

I'm doing everything I can to best represent NZ and help lead my team to success on the World stage. I would be forever grateful for any financial support you can offer to help my dreams and my efforts become a reality!

For the love of the game <3
