I can't tell you how much I respect all the single parents out there doing it all solo.

I still think there are some pitches in this pitching arm, so I will continue playing with USA Softball, but knowing that this could be the last time a softball player stands on the Olympic podium and has the opportunity of experiencing this - it was emotional.

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

I love to run. I was challenged to run the New York marathon four months after having my youngest son, and since running isn't a big part of softball, the thought of a marathon was a stretch for me.

You have been doing something that has brought you success, and you are in the playoffs because you have been doing some thing right.

College softball each year reaches new levels of interest.

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