Greg Bachman introduced Emma Fornelli, who provided a whole different perspective of ESU baseball from her perspective of being the daughter of the team coach. As a senior at Emporia High School, Emma has enjoyed life at Emporia High as well as getting to participate in ESU baseball as a spectator who has an insight to what is really going on from knowing her father. Her baseball vocabulary is much higher than her non-baseball peers, even though she and her sisters don't even play the game except the occasional game of catch in the back yard. Some of her lesson learned:- When you make a mistake, learn from it and move on.
- Losing builds character.
- Have a bigger picture than yourself...there are other players on the team, too.
- Keep your head up
Emma's immediate future is to study biology at KU.
