I try to not be too hard on myself regarding my diet. I've always been a workout-to-eat kind of a girl. I like to eat, to say the least.

For softball, we need the Olympics. For young girls dreaming of that Olympic dream, that's where it's at, and that's where it all started in '96 for our sport.

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

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

This whole career has been way more than I ever even imagined or dreamed.

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

My family vacations were softball tournaments.
