Olivia Hopkins enters her 3rd year on Babinski's staff.  She transitions from being the Wildcat Graduate Assistant to volunteer coach as she has accepted a 1st grade teaching position at Westview Elementary School in Jonesboro, IN.

Hopkins is a Mason, Ohio Native who played her softball career at Wittenberg University as a middle infielder. “O-Hop’s positive energy is contagious! You can feel, and hear, her before she even enters the room.” Says Head Coach Babinski. “She has grown so much in such a little time in her faith, in the game, and as a person and I see no signs of that stopping.”

Hopkins is involved in all facets of the game and is passionate about using her Master’s degree in Positive Psychology to help the mental training of the Wildcats. Her Growth Mindset teaching has enhanced and elevated the Wildcats to play with freedom.
