I am not one for New Years resolutions… it takes 30 days to make something a habit, so no resolution will hit home right away. That’s my opinion at least, and we are all entitled to one. I try to think of what I can do better, how I can be better, and maybe make a few goals.
Prior to NewYears I had already started with a new trainer, and was working out 4 days a week under his guidance, so working out wasn’t really going to be a resolution. Plus, it’s part of my job… as an athlete you …

It’s never to late to make a change. I’ve been a stickler to my ways forever. I’ve always gotten away with eating whatever I want, and working out when I want. Well except for college, you work out when they tell you. But since college, I have kind of just done as I wish. Sometimes I arranged to meet with a trainer to workout knowing myself enough to know I am more likely to go do something when there’s someone there to push me through it. I can readily admit I need that most of the time I work out.…
Where has time gone… summer is almost over and another season is about to end. It’s quite interesting how the summer can seem to drag on, but then speed up and be gone before you are ready for it to be over. While I can easily admit the summer of 2009, is hard to top, this summer has been quite an experience.
The Pride started off a tad bit slow for most people’s standards, including our own. Being grown women, we sat down, had a group heart to heart, and then went on a terror to claim the NPF Regular …
Well it’s been a while. I’ve started a few blogs and just never finished! Since NPF season is 2 weeks underway, figured now is as good a time as ever for an update.
The spring ended on a high note. This year might be one of the most rewarding I have ever had. Many people think you shouldn’t go into business with a friend, but Lindsay and I defied the odds. I feel like that’s because we have always shared a mutual respect for one another, and we also have the ability to disagree or critique each other without taking …
A number of events and conversations recently have led me to rack my brain about why many coaches claim “kids just aren’t the same these days.” I’m quick to blame the technology era. Cell phones, video games, and the like have replaced the days of wall ball, kick ball and home run derby. Even in these silly little games, as kids, we got something out of it. Believe it or not, even though I don’t hit, I learned more about hitting playing home run derby with the boys than anywhere else at a really young age.
Now days, the art …
Good morning y’all!
2012 has been great thus far, and I hope it has for all of you as well. With the new year, spring season has come, which means softball. The Hilltoppers’ season hasn’t started the way we would hope. We currently have a 2-4 record, but have a 4 games in the next three days, so we have the chance to add to the W column!
Coaching isn’t new to me, but it’s always a challenge. Athletes tick just a little bit different, and finding out what motivates them is the biggest piece of the puzzle. I find …
So I know I promised this a while ago, but things got a little more hectic than expected, and I refused to take my computer on vacation. But a new year, so a new blog!
Well, my new year has started off quite interesting. I had surgery to remove my first rib in order to relieve my Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I had a wonderful doctor, Dr. Gregory Pearl, who did such a great job that my pain has been minimal. He has worked on a number of MLB players, and said everything went smoothly. Now, if my muscles would just …
I am much better at writing than I am speaking, and today I tried with all my might to convey so many thoughts, but I feel like much is left unsaid. With that, I am going to share the bulk of my Hall of Honor speech, but also my true thoughts and emotions on this amazingly humbling occasion.
I tried to wrack my brain for stories to share during my speech, but I couldn’t come up with just one or two. You’d think after taking 6 years to go through school you would have enough to talk for hours. I …
Well since I last wrote a lot has happened… I went to Japan, I came back, played NPF season, got hurt, and have now been in one city since the end of August. I’ll start by catching everyone up to speed.
The first half of Japan season wasn’t as successful as I would like it to be, but I did enjoy being over there. It was very interesting to live in another culture for so long. By the end of the first half of season, I was getting accustom to life there, but I was also itching to get home.…
