My name is Maddy Carpe and I am one of the assistant coaches at Harvard University. I work with both offense and defense, however, I do have a stronger role in defense.
Before coaching, I had a four-year career on the Boston College Softball team where I served as team captain my senior year. I earned the Eagle Award which is presented to those who embody the mission of Boston College: to learn, search for truth, and to live in service of others. I was also awarded the Welles Crowther Patch which recognizes a player from each team who represents the BC motto, "Men and Women for others."
As I enter my second year of coaching with the Crimson, I could not be more excited to continue sharing my love and knowledge of this sport. Harvard Softball's four core values are passion, respect, fortitude, and confidence, values that are enforced everyday in our program. I look forward to working with the younger players of the game within these camps and share in the values that has brought Harvard Softball so much success.
