When you train six to seven hours a day to be the best in your sport, you don't want that to be overlooked. I don't train for my looks.

The attention I get has been great. It has opened so many doors for me. It's nice that people are accepting beautiful women as athletes. It's encouraging to girls that muscles don't mean you can't be beautiful.

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

Growing up, I looked up to major league baseball players, and now these young women have amazing, incredible women all across the board, from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball.

I blame and credit my brothers for my competitive fire within me. Growing up, I lost at everything! My brothers are quite a bit older - 10 years and 5 years - so it was a challenge, but I have some of the most amazing memories with my big brothers.

My family vacations were softball tournaments.

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