For a team point of view, what was the difference this past fall season compared to the previous fall?
“The buy-in from the whole team. Everyone wants to work hard, and we are pushing each other day in and day out at every single practice. We are past the getting to know each other stage, the way we have meshed from last fall to this fall is going great.”
What are you looking forward to the most in the 2024 season, and what is an individual goal and team goals?
“Not only do I want to go to a Super Regional, but with the senior class we have, we want to make it to the World Series and put on a show for the 12th Man. Personally, I am not big into stats, I just want to keep improving and working on certain aspects of my swing.”
What is your favorite thing about road trips with the team?
“It is always fun going on road trips with this team. We do a good job of taking that as our bonding time off the field by making memories and recording videos, to look back on when we are gone.”
Take advantage of every day, don’t save it for tomorrow. There are other people working hard, just like you are. Don’t ever think that your craft is perfected, and always find something to keep working on.Trinity Cannon on advice to young softball players
Where is your favorite place to eat at in Aggieland?
“Napa Flats. Hands down, because of their chicken parmesan.”
What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of softball?
“I like to cook and bake. I am not the most creative person, so I like to have a step-by-step recipe.”
What has been your favorite memory so far when playing in front of the 12th Man?
“The series in 2022 when we beat Alabama for the first time since Texas A&M joined the SEC. It was so much fun. We sold out the stadium the second game and then the next day we broke the attendance record. It was so much fun looking up at the stands and knowing we had that support from the 12th Man.”
Who is your favorite artist/band and what song stays stuck in your head 24/7?
“I am really on a Zach Bryan wave right now and I like the song “Revival”. We went to his concert a while back and the closer was “Revival”, which made the whole place go crazy."
Any pre-game rituals that you are superstitious about?
“I am not too big into rituals besides how I put my uniform on.”
Is there a significant reason as to why you wear No. 6?
“In high school one of my best friends passed away and she wore the number six. When I came in as a freshman, six wasn’t available because a senior already had it. Twenty-six was the next big thing and I decided to wear that. When coach Ford came in and the senior graduated, I asked coach if she would be okay with me switching numbers. She said she would be more than happy if I was able to wear that number to represent my friend and her family.”
