I had the vision of creating my own camp to make sure I was teaching the campers what I wanted. Plus I picked other players that were good on the field and off so we could be great role models for these girls to look up to. I hope to inspire others and encourage them to go after their dreams.

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

My family vacations were softball tournaments.

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

I don't want to be just a face. I want to go out there and prove something on the field.

Softball has given me so much in life. It's taught me the kind of person I want to be, and given me a sweet sisterhood. It even led me to my husband.

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