Today on SAC, Hannah Eslick, an infielder on the George Washington Unviersity Softball team was interviewed. Hannah is a Maryland native who transferred from the University of Maryland to GW. In the interview, Hannah discussed several aspects of the sport and her softball career.

In Maryland, high school softball isn’t a sport that is as popular as others so travel softball is the way to get recognized by college coaches. Hannah played travel ball at a young age and when she was playing, the recruiting process for softball started very early. When she was in MIDDLE SCHOOL, she was playing in front of college coaches and getting scholarships offers to play at schools. She committed to play softball at the University of Maryland when she was in the 8th grade! That is insane! However, the recruiting process is different now. She talks about the process that she went through at a young age and how it has changed to the process today. 

We also talk about her transfer process and the aspects of the new school that she was looking for. After spending time at UMD, she knew what she wanted in a new school and we discussed how she went about that. 

Hannah discussed the dynamic of GW being in D.C. and how she utilizes academic resources to help her succeed! She took us through a day as a George Washington University softball player and how she manages her time.

GW had a stellar year in 2019 winning their A-10 conference and going to an NCAA regional tournament at Liberty University in Virginia! We discussed that year and how she felt like a transfer going in and contributing immediately.

Lastly, she mentioned things about being a student-athlete that she loves and gives some great advice, make sure to tune into this awesome sports podcast!
