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 incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.

My parents were born and raised in Iowa and my two brothers were born in Iowa before my family moved to California where I was born so I still really feel like I have those Midwestern roots.

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!

It's so empowering to see yourself as a machine.

You don't take a class; you're thrown into motherhood and learn from experience.

When I lose, I take it very personally.
