More quotes by Jennie Finch
I still think there are some pitches in this pitching arm, so I will continue playing with USA Softball, but knowing that this could be the last time a softball player stands on the Olympic podium and has the opportunity of experiencing this - it was emotional.

It's so empowering to see yourself as a machine.

I loved being on the field playing and teaching softball. I didn't like the fact that a camp had my name on it and I didn't know the logistics of what was going on. I wanted to make sure I was involved in a camp that did things right.

I do my job on the mound and then do what I can at the plate, always working on helping the team anyway I can.
Jennie Finch
My family vacations were softball tournaments.
Jennie Finch
I try to squeeze in a workout whenever I can, even if it's doing squats with my 7-month-old in the kitchen or jumping on the trampoline with my 5-year-old.
Jennie Finch
Being fit and being in the best shape that I can be helps me be the best mom as well.
Jennie Finch
I really like Dontrelle Willis' pitch he's animated on the mound and is fun to watch - he gets into the game emotionally.
Jennie Finch
I mean, I love winning, but losing is a much more intense feeling.
Jennie Finch
When I was growing up, softball had stereotypes along with other female sports. But society is definitely changing since the WNBA and WUSA. Muscles on female athletes are OK now. Young girls can look up to beautiful, athletic, fit women.
