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.

I've face more than 35 major leaguers, and only two have ever made contact against me.

Throwing a ball is not natural, whether it's overhand or underhand.

I try to squeeze in a workout whenever I can, even if it's doing squats with my 7-month-old in the kitchen or jumping on the trampoline with my 5-year-old.

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

Looking back, I've learned the most from the bad coaches, really, how not to act, how not to coach, how not to treat people. So I always say no matter what situations you're faced with, how bad it is, you can always walk away and learn. You can always rise above it.

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