Senior Brodie Christensen has been one of the most consistent players in the state since she started her career for the Andover Trojans.
“What makes Brodie special is her ability to lead both by example and vocally,” head coach Kelsey Goodwin said. “She is a light on the team and consistently supports and encourages her teammates. Brodie drives the chemistry on the team and accepts any challenge put in front of her, no matter the difficulty.”
In her freshman year, Christensen was named to the all-league first team, all-state second team and all-county first team. Then again, as a sophomore and senior, she finally got the deserved recognition as she was named to the all-state first team.
“Brodie is a dedicated multi-sport athlete,” Goodwin said. “She is a natural leader and strives to make herself and her teammates better daily.”
Christensen has put in an enormous amount of work ever since she started playing t-ball as a four-year-old.
“What led me to this point was the constant work I have put in multiple times a week, always playing two years up in club and going to big tournaments,” Christensen said. “Also, there is constant pushing and encouragement from my friends, but my parents especially.”
After a 7-12 season a year ago, the senior is now even more locked in for herself as she inches closer to breaking some team records and being locked in on winning and making a deep playoff run.
“A team goal would be to win more games than we ever have while I’ve been there and to make it to regionals,” Christensen said.
