Character

“Timmons is the epitome of high character. She exemplifies integrity and class in every facet of life, whether it’s on the softball field, in the classroom, or at church. She is a person of great ambition, faith, honesty, and humility. Even though Timmons is more of an introverted leader, she exudes a confidence that makes her easy to follow. There is thoughtfulness and sincerity in everything she says. When Timmons speaks, people listen. They trust her unconditionally, and that not only makes her a great teammate, but more importantly a great person.

She is a fierce competitor, known for always giving attention to detail and working hard to exceed the standard. She demands perfection of herself and her performance on a daily basis. Timmons has earned everything she has through her dedication and pursuit of excellence. Her willingness to step up and take on any role that is asked of her demonstrates her selflessness.

With the exception of opposing batters, there isn’t a single person that would have a bad thing to say about Nicole Timmons. She is a class act and has represented her team and her university exceptionally well.”
