College softball each year reaches new levels of interest.
Sweat plus sacrifice equals success.
Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine!
If you're not prepared, it's not pressure you feel, it's fear.
Softball is an easy sport to fall in love because our game is fast paced and action packed.
I just feel like it gets harder and harder every year with Ace getting older and time away from my husband and even family events such as birthdays and friends' weddings and things that I've always just missed out on because of softball.
When you win, nothing hurts.
Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.
I have zero hand-eye coordination - zero - so I've never been good at softball, basketball, golf, things like that, but I'm really strong and I have really good endurance so I can go forever - I'm a tough girl.
Baseball is played by all countries now, and softball, too
You're going to make mistakes in life. It's what you do after the mistakes that counts.
Put your ego aside and play as a team.
I think Daniel Murphy definitely is premeditated what he'd like to do. He's very good about not missing his pitch when he sees it. I know the ball has to look like at least a softball right now, at least, maybe more to the beach ball variety. He's seeing everything that well. He's a good hitter that is seeing the ball really well right now, and you have to make good pitches to get him out.
I train harder than anyone else in the world. Last year I was supposed to take a month off and I took three days off because I was afraid somebody out there was training harder. That's the feeling I go through every day - Am I not doing what somebody else is doing? Is someone out there training harder than I am? I can't live with myself if someone is.
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love.
We actually had a Kansa band softball team.
Single-mindedness. I hate to say it because I don't think it's the best thing for developing a person, but the single-mindedness - just concentrating in the one area - that's what it takes to be a champion.
The only real failure in life is the failure to try.
Sports taught me that I can make a mistake one minute, let it go, and be brilliant the next.
