More quotes by Jennie Finch
For softball, we need the Olympics. For young girls dreaming of that Olympic dream, that's where it's at, and that's where it all started in '96 for our sport.
Jennie Finch
The main thing is to win. You just try to keep your tunnel vision on to get the team the win.
Jennie Finch
I don't want to be just a face. I want to go out there and prove something on the field.
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.
Jennie Finch
My family vacations were softball tournaments.

Looking back, I've learned the most from the bad coaches, really, how not to act, how not to coach, how not to treat people. So I always say no matter what situations you're faced with, how bad it is, you can always walk away and learn. You can always rise above it.

Have unconditional love to your children no matter what happens. Give them time even in the midst of this busy life - be one on one with them.

College softball each year reaches new levels of interest.

It's so empowering to see yourself as a machine.
Jennie Finch
Softball has given me so much in life. It's taught me the kind of person I want to be, and given me a sweet sisterhood. It even led me to my husband.

You can't always control the circumstances - only how you react to those circumstances you can always control your attitude and your effort.
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
A macho attitude is totally to my advantage. Guys try to hit it 400 feet out of the park, but in softball you have to use a short, quick swing. Big, huge swings equal big, huge strikeouts.
Jennie Finch
College was the greatest four years of my life.
Jennie Finch
Got any pitches? I got five pitches-rise-ball, curveball, screwball, drop-ball and changeup.
Jennie Finch
You're not going to get off the couch and be at some amazing fast pace or burn crazy amounts of calories, but you have to start somewhere Eventually, you'll get there.
Jennie Finch
The attention I get has been great. It has opened so many doors for me. It's nice that people are accepting beautiful women as athletes. It's encouraging to girls that muscles don't mean you can't be beautiful.
Jennie Finch
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.
Jennie Finch
I try to not be too hard on myself regarding my diet. I've always been a workout-to-eat kind of a girl. I like to eat, to say the least.
Jennie Finch
I had the vision of creating my own camp to make sure I was teaching the campers what I wanted. Plus I picked other players that were good on the field and off so we could be great role models for these girls to look up to. I hope to inspire others and encourage them to go after their dreams.
