It is one thing to play for your university. It is another to play for your country.

As a believer, I know that Jesus Christ has a plan and it's not going to be my plan. It's not always succeeding and looking back it's amazing looking back to see how God works in mysterious ways, not always good ways, rough ways but those rough times, those rough patches, and those swamps and all those things that I went through are looking back, were such an incredible life lessons for me not only to shape and build me as an athlete but most importantly, my character as a person.

Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine!

I mean, I love winning, but losing is a much more intense feeling.

Our sports [softball] is a game of failure already so my dad always says to parents who he is a pitching coach and he's been my pitching coach since I was 11 years old is if they can be the best kid on the team, let them experience that and then obviously the challenge has to come later on but you don't get that opportunity very often and confidence is such a huge part of this game and in life in general.

It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.

It is one thing to play for your university. It is another to play for your country.
