Right Now In My Career, It's Like

When I Was Growing Up, Softball Had Stereotypes Along With Other Female Sports. But Society Is Definitely Changing Since The Wnba And Wusa. Muscles On Female Athletes Are Ok Now. Young Girls Can Look Up To Beautiful, Athletic, Fit Women.

I Could Have Never Dreamed What An Amazing Ride This Has Been.

I'm Living A Dream. I Hope In 10 Years People Will Know Me As A Gold Medalist.

Seeing Women On Television Was Very Important To Me. It Opened My Eyes To The Possibilities Of Women's Sports. It Showed Me What I Could Do And Who I Could Be.

It's A Game Of Failure [softball]. Everybody Would Play, That Was Easy And Everyone's Not Playing Because It Is So Tough. But It's A Matter Of Keep Plugging Away, Keep Working Hard, Believing In Yourself And It Is A Team Sport And There Is Nothing Better Than Being Out There, Having A Ball In Your Hand, Playing The Game That You Love And Ultimately That's What It Comes Down Is Having Fun And Enjoying It.
