North Oldham two-way standout signs with Georgia Gwinnett and reflects on her journey
Kadie Bosemer is a Grizzly
Last week Kadie Bosemer, a two-way player from North Oldham High School in Louisville, Kentucky and a member of Indy Dreams Streeval Fair, signed her national letter of intent to Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
Bosemer took a few moments to chat about her commitment and signing, as well as what the game means to her.
For Bosemer, the moment brought a feeling of relief. The recruiting process can be overwhelming, especially when things drag out longer than expected.
“There is definitely relief now that I’m signed. For a long time, my recruitment process was very stressful, and the closer to my senior year got, the more anxious I became about playing in college,” she said. “But I truly believe that everything works out one way or another, and it did.”
This past summer, Georgia Gwinnett College found Kadie during play in Atlanta, and the connection was immediate.
“GGC found me this summer while I was playing in Atlanta, and I immediately fell in love with their campus and coaches. When I went down for my second visit, I realized that this was the perfect place for me. Both Coach Kat and Coach Razey were extremely supportive throughout everything, and I appreciate them greatly for allowing me to become a Grizzly.”
School ball deserves its spotlight and credit, and for Bosemer, North Oldham has been a major part of her development both on and off the field. She has spent nearly six years in the program and carries a real appreciation for what it has given her.
“Where do I even start? Being in the North program for going on six years has had its ups and downs. But the highs far outweigh the lows. Being so young and being exposed to such a high level of competition at such a young age prepared me for so many things, not only in life but also as I advanced in my softball career,” said Bosemer.
“Of course, I have one final year at North Oldham, and I hope to have an even better season than last year. One thing I will forever remember is the bonds I’ve created over the years, and how to work through hardship as a team.”
With her future home secured, she can enjoy the game again without the weight of recruiting.
“Now that I’m committed, travel ball is really just fun; it’s become a hobby again. Playing with the Dreams has taught me more about the game and prepared me further for college-level softball.”
Softball has shaped Bosemer in many ways, and understanding what fuels her passion paints a clearer picture of who she is on the field.
“When you’ve been playing a sport for nearly ten years, it’s hard to pick just one thing that makes it special to you. However, softball has built me as a person. I’ve learned more things on the field than anywhere else, whether that be teamwork, leadership, or hard work.
“Not only does my drive for knowledge of the sport push me, but my desire to make my parents proud is my number one priority. They’ve been with me through thick and thin, provided for me, and traveled the country all so I can succeed in my dream. And now that I’m here, I cannot be more grateful for everything they’ve done for me.”
With deep gratitude and all the lessons this game has given her, Kadie Bosemer’s journey continues on.
