I love the Olympics.

When I lose, I take it very personally.

I'm a role model for lots of young girls.

My family vacations were softball tournaments.

College was the greatest four years of my life.

To some Softball is a game; to others it's Life.

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

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

I'm pretty adaptable and can adjust to any environment.

It's all about balance and, I think, being in the moment.

I get has been great. It has opened so many doors for me.

Running a marathon is something I've always wanted to do.

College softball each year reaches new levels of interest.

Never limit yourself, never be satisfied, and smile-it's free!

I could have never dreamed what an amazing ride this has been.

Whatever I am doing at that moment, I want to make the most of it.

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

When I was a kid, I dreamed of using a bat with my own name on it.

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

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

Playing USA Softball has been more to me than I ever imagined possible.

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

My goal is to never lose. That may not be realistic, but I'm going to try.

I may be wearing makeup, but I can throw a fastball by you at the same time.

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

I love being outside with my boys, playing tag or trying to keep up with them.

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

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

Being fit and being in the best shape that I can be helps me be the best mom as well.

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

I can't tell you how much I respect all the single parents out there doing it all solo.

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

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

Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine!

Got any pitches? I got five pitches-rise-ball, curveball, screwball, drop-ball and changeup.

The main thing is to win. You just try to keep your tunnel vision on to get the team the win.

The best compliment I've gotten was being compared to Randy Johnson. We're both hard-throwing.

I realize the differences between my children and use what works for each of them individually.

How's motherhood? It is absolutely wonderful. Oh, my gosh. It's truly indescribable and amazing.

I try to not be too hard on myself regarding my diet. I've always been a workout-to-eat kind of a girl.

I do my job on the mound and then do what I can at the plate, always working on helping the team anyway I can.

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

If I'm with my sons, I want to give them 100 percent. Whatever I am doing at that moment, I want to make the most of it.

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.'

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

We're [Avocado League] trying to just urge people to add avocado into their diet. It's healthy and full of vitamins and minerals.

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

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

When you train six to seven hours a day to be the best in your sport, you don't want that to be overlooked. I don't train for my looks.

My husband, after two weeks of dating, asked me, if our relationship were to work out, would I be OK with our first boy being named Ace.
