I mean, I love winning, but losing is a much more intense feeling.

A miracle is really the only way to describe motherhood and giving birth. It's unbelievable how God has made us women and babies to endure and be able to do so much. A miracle, indeed. Such an incredible blessing.

I love being outside with my boys, playing tag or trying to keep up with them.

Growing up, I watched softball and U.S.A .softball, and that was my goal of being able to represent my country and wear the red, white, and blue out there, and I think it is one of the highest honors to be able to go out there and compete for your country, and it was something so very special, and it was everything I dreamt of and more.
Jennie Finch -
It is one thing to play for your university. It is another to play for your country.
Jennie Finch -
It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.
Jennie Finch -
I can't tell you how much I respect all the single parents out there doing it all solo.
Jennie Finch -
If I'm with my sons, I want to give them 100 percent. Whatever I am doing at that moment, I want to make the most of it.

I love to run. I was challenged to run the New York marathon four months after having my youngest son, and since running isn't a big part of softball, the thought of a marathon was a stretch for me.
Jennie Finch -
I realize the differences between my children and use what works for each of them individually.
Jennie Finch -
Dad was the pitching coach, while Mom was the emotional supporter. Her unconditional love was great, and she wanted what was best for me. It was more about what she did than what she said, and she made sure I was the best I could be.
Jennie Finch -
When you train six to seven hours a day to be the best in your sport, you don't want that to be overlooked. I don't train for my looks.
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.
Jennie Finch -
This whole career has been way more than I ever even imagined or dreamed.

There's nothing better than working up a good sweat.
Jennie Finch -
I love the Olympics.
Jennie Finch -
It's all about balance and, I think, being in the moment.
Jennie Finch -
Throwing a ball is not natural, whether it's overhand or underhand.
Jennie Finch -
I blame and credit my brothers for my competitive fire within me. Growing up, I lost at everything! My brothers are quite a bit older - 10 years and 5 years - so it was a challenge, but I have some of the most amazing memories with my big brothers.
Jennie Finch -
Right now in my career, it's like I'm having more fun than I've ever had, so it's kind of like, 'Man, I can't stop now.'

When I was 12, I had a coach tell me I would never be a championship pitcher. That devastated me. I was crushed.
Jennie Finch -
Although it is disappointing that softball was not reinstated into the Olympics, we are going to continue to keep growing the sport.
Jennie Finch -
It's so empowering to see yourself as a machine.
Jennie Finch -
Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine! Softball is amazing that way as a sport. Everyone on the field has a slightly different ability that makes them perfect for their position.
