Excerpt from Dayle’s “Game On” Essay:

“I feel that the sense of optimism that I wake up with every morning drives my enthusiasm for living. I love being alive and believe that everyday is another opportunity to achieve something great…”
“The enthusiasm that I bring to most anything I do presents a type of dedication that is not found in many. I am able to stick to decisions I make by putting one hundred percent effort into them, whether that is within my sports or school life. My game-on attitude stems from my dedication and excitement that I bring to my everyday-day tasks. I guess one of the reasons I love giving those pump-up speeches in those softball games is because I am not the type to ever give up and love spreading the excitement of a positive outcome to others.”
