Success isn't winning every time. A lot of different factors go into every race, and you can't control all of them. Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren't necessarily the most wonderful athletes. I admire the ones who keep coming back and doing it, time after time.

I drew my strength from fear. Fear of losing. I don't remember the games I won, only the games I lost.

In softball . . . , the softball gods giveth and the softball gods taketh away, but that evens out over the season.
