Your body is not made to throw like we throw. That's why you see softball pitchers pitching two or three games a day. It's a natural movement in softball. In baseball it's not a natural movement.

Physical therapy is part of my offseason routine. That has helped me greatly.

I came to realize in my late 20s that my velocity is not going to grow so I had to learn to utilize what I had.

I thought about all of us women and how we spend half our lives rebelling against our mothers and the next half rebelling against our daughters.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

Everything bad has... you know, has a good.

There is no such thing as taking too much time, because your soul is in that picture.
