The student-athlete experience at Lake Forest College is more than just practice and competition, and this year extends across the country and, in some cases, around the world. Forester teams are like families and their members support each other and the community in numerous ways.
This fall, student-athletes at the College are attending classes remotely, finding ways to keep in touch with one another, and continuing to be active and successful Foresters. The "Highlights from Home" series gives them an opportunity to share their experiences.
The final entry of the Highlights from Home series comes from senior catcher Nicole Schussler of the softball team.
We are so excited to welcome six freshmen and two transfers to the team. We are counting down the days until we are on campus and can finally meet in-person. | |
Many of us have been coaching teams and teaching lessons, including junior pitcher Meghan Joyce and senior outfielder Erin Karasewski, who are coaching the Illinois Blaze 13u (pictured). | |
Others have been working to earn extra money during the holidays. Many have been able to spend more time with family and reconnect with old friends. | |
We have found creative ways to work out and stay active. Junior transfer Carlie Mertz is a group fitness instructor at Orangetheory Fitness. | |
We are continuing to meet as a team once a week to catch up and get to know one another better. We cannot wait to come together as a family and get to work for this upcoming season. | |
Happy Holidays! | |
