Right now in my career, it's like I'm having more fun than I've ever had, so it's kind of like, 'Man, I can't stop now.'

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

Although it is disappointing that softball was not reinstated into the Olympics, we are going to continue to keep growing the sport.

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.

It's a game of failure [softball]. Everybody would play, that was easy and everyone's not playing because it is so tough. But it's a matter of keep plugging away, keep working hard, believing in yourself and it is a team sport and there is nothing better than being out there, having a ball in your hand, playing the game that you love and ultimately that's what it comes down is having fun and enjoying it.

I'm living a dream. I hope in 10 years people will know me as a gold medalist.

I mean, I love winning, but losing is a much more intense feeling.
