Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine! Softball is amazing that way as a sport. Everyone on the field has a slightly different ability that makes them perfect for their position.

I do my job on the mound and then do what I can at the plate, always working on helping the team anyway I can.

Throwing a ball is not natural, whether it's overhand or underhand.

I could have never dreamed what an amazing ride this has been.

Looking back, I've learned the most from the bad coaches, really, how not to act, how not to coach, how not to treat people. So I always say no matter what situations you're faced with, how bad it is, you can always walk away and learn. You can always rise above it.

There's nothing better than working up a good sweat.

I really like Dontrelle Willis' pitch; he's animated on the mound and is fun to watch - he gets into the game emotionally.
