The Worsley Profile:
Why I chose Ferris State: A great softball program with a great coaching staff
I can't live without: my family and my dad's credit card
My worst fear is: spiders
The motto I live by: love life with all of your might
Something unusual about me is that: I can touch my tongue to my nose
If I could change one thing about softball, I would: get rid of those sweaty helmets
My pregame ritual is: to put my catching gear on the same way
When I step on the field I think I'm so lucky to do this day in and out
My role model is: my mother . . . so courageous, strong and kind-hearted
My friends tell me I: kick in my sleep
What has been the most thrilling moment of your life outside of sports?: Riding on the Old Town Sky Coaster in Orlando, Florida
