What made you so good?

Well, I think twofold.

You kind of hit it on the head.

I played everything.

I tried everything growing up.

Um, and even when I was being recruited, I, I told Coach Clark, "Real quick, you're not gonna make me quit basketball." Um, that was what I played in the winter, and I felt like that's what kept me in shape.

Like, I didn't have to go do conditioning workouts 'cause I was playing basketball, and, um, I just stayed active.

but, what, what were the Olympics like?

For those that aren't super familiar with softball, can you set the stage for what the post-college softball landscape has kind of looked like for the last 20 years or so?

Oh, so it's been really up and down.

The NPF was going for a while.

It had been in in operation for, I want to say, probably eight or 10 years before.

I shouldn't say 10, probably eight before I played.

There were other entities of it, but every time it just kind of got rebranded.

So I was drafted into the NPF straight out of college.
