Although it is disappointing that softball was not reinstated into the Olympics, we are going to continue to keep growing the sport.

I'm a role model for lots of young girls.

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.

I realize the differences between my children and use what works for each of them individually.

My husband, after two weeks of dating, asked me, if our relationship were to work out, would I be OK with our first boy being named Ace.

When I was 12, I had a coach tell me I would never be a championship pitcher. That devastated me. I was crushed.

College softball each year reaches new levels of interest.
