I Try To Squeeze In A Workout

I Love To Run. I Was Challenged To Run The New York Marathon Four Months After Having My Youngest Son, And Since Running Isn't A Big Part Of Softball, The Thought Of A Marathon Was A Stretch For Me.

Our Sports [softball] Is A Game Of Failure Already So My Dad Always Says To Parents Who He Is A Pitching Coach And He's Been My Pitching Coach Since I Was 11 Years Old Is If They Can Be The Best Kid On The Team, Let Them Experience That And Then Obviously The Challenge Has To Come Later On But You Don't Get That Opportunity Very Often And Confidence Is Such A Huge Part Of This Game And In Life In General.

It's So Empowering To See Yourself As A Machine.

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 Really Like Dontrelle Willis' Pitch; He's Animated On The Mound And Is Fun To Watch - He Gets Into The Game Emotionally.
