11. Four Years as a Badger Athlete, #18 Brooke Kuffel, UW Womens Softball

Have you ever wondered what it takes to make it as a Division 1 athlete? Today I sit down with Brooke Kuffel, who played four years on the University of Wisconsin Womens Softball team, to discuss her journey from T-ball to playing in stadiums across the country as a Badger athlete. She shares how she dealt with the pressure to perform and how she balanced being a student athlete, emphasis on student, and everything in-between. It was really fun to look at all of her highlights, which included talking about home runs, impressive defensive plays, learning time management skills and giving back to her community with volunteer opportunities.
