About Jana

Jana Sistig portrait
Wesseling VerminsTex Town TigersDBV Nationalmannschaft

I have played softball since I was six, starting with the Wesseling Vermins. Since 2019 I have represented Germany, U16, then U18, U22 (2024) and the Women's National Team (2025).

At 17 I joined the Tex Town Tigers in the top Dutch league. For over two years I have played a double season, competing in both the German and Dutch Bundesliga every weekend.

In 2024 I earned my Abitur at a sports school in Bonn, having moved into a sports boarding school at 17 to combine elite athletics with academics.

Softball is my life, and from 2027 I will bring that work ethic to NCAA Division I softball at the University of Detroit Mercy.
