Laura Uhrmacher

August 2024

Laura Uhrmacher is a 2029 RHP, in the middle of her 8th grade fastpitch softball season at Enid Middle School. She plays competitive travel ball for the Enid Bruins and is a work horse through and through.

Laura has consistently trained both online and in-person at Be Complete Athletics since the early fall of 2023. She continues to make significant improvements to her mechanics and approach to her pitching. She will always go the extra mile for her team and is learning to take a more mature approach to her training by focusing on the little things that tend to mean the most in the long run, like her form (both in the circle and in the gym), her mindset both on the field and off, as well as consistent and correct arm care.
