My Family Vacations Were Softball Tournaments.

When I Was Growing Up, Softball Had Stereotypes Along With Other Female Sports. But Society Is Definitely Changing Since The Wnba And Wusa. Muscles On Female Athletes Are Ok Now. Young Girls Can Look Up To Beautiful, Athletic, Fit Women.

Seeing Women On Television Was Very Important To Me. It Opened My Eyes To The Possibilities Of Women's Sports. It Showed Me What I Could Do And Who I Could Be.

The Whole Sexiness Thing-i Don't Know If I'm Comfortable With That. But It Has Helped The Sport Grow. I Think It Changes How People See Women's Athletics.

I'm Living A Dream. I Hope In 10 Years People Will Know Me As A Gold Medalist.

When I Was A Kid, I Dreamed Of Using A Bat With My Own Name On It.
