All players need motivation, whether it’s idolizing a top player, drawing inspiration from music, movies or books.

Texas-bound MIF Anabela Abdullah of Hollywood, FL, has become one of the top players in the country, recently being named to the U-18 USA Women’s National Team for the second time.

Abdullah, #2 in the 2026 Line Drive Hot 100, an 18U Alliance national champion for Texas Bombers Gold-Smith, recently revealed 10 songs from her playlist for the music that drives her.

Here are some of the songs on her playlist:

“If I Ever Fall In Love” by Shai: My favorite song, great to sing your heart out.

“Always” by Daniel Caesar: (I) usually listen to on the way to school for a chill vibe.

“So Easy (To Fall In Love)” by Olivia Dean: It gives a romanticizing life vibe.

“Best Part” by Daniel Caesar (ft. H.E.R.): You can relate this song to any special person in your life.

“Austin” by Blake Shelton: My sister’s pre-game song.
