12-year-old Tessa Wright is showing us all what dedication looks like.  Just wait until you hear about her impressive journey in softball.

Southwest Michigan Next Level Student-Athlete of the Week

  • Athlete of the week nomination:  Tessa Wright
  • Age: 12 Years Old
  • Sport: Softball
  • School: Lawton Middle School
  • Nominated By:  Andee VanDyken, Next Level Softball Director

This is what Coach Andee VanDyken had to say about Tessa Wright,

Tessa is an absolute standout! She shows up every time with a positive attitude, punctuality, and a strong work ethic. During one lesson, she wanted to improve her bunting skills, and we ended up switching her to the left side of the plate. In just one week, she not only learned how to drag bunt—she mastered it. Tessa is the kind of athlete every coach hopes to work with: driven, coachable, and incredibly talented. Keep it up, Tessa—great work!

Please join us in congratulating Tessa Wright, this week's Student-Athlete of the Week.
