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.

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.

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

I didn't really get into boys until my junior year of high school, when I had my first boyfriend. But for the most part I was always playing sports, so I was too busy for them!

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

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

You can't always control the circumstances - only how you react to those circumstances; you can always control your attitude and your effort.
