I am optimistic that this unified effort by our softball delegation will show Mr. Rogge and the IOC Members that almost three months after the vote, we remain committed to getting our sport back on the 2012 program, just as we've always been dedicated to growing softball globally and keeping it as a world-class sport that projects the Olympic image and ideals -- especially its promotion of women.

We do charter buses sometimes, but it just depends on the sport and how far away the game will be. We usually leave it up to the coaches to decide on whether or not a charter bus is needed.

The Federation Nation will share a common bond, a common goal, a fraternal feel and a vested interest in growing the sport.

(Thompson) has got a lot of good stuff and always pitches tough against us. We faced her three times last year and she always did well. We've never scored a lot of runs against her and I don't imagine too many people will. (She has) control and change of pace, and that's always difficult. You've got 40 feet to decide if it's going fast, slow, up, down? It's just a tough sport.

There is going to be expectations and big-girl responsibilities that she can pass on right now because she's not officially representing a company; she's not an ambassador for the sport as a professional. That becomes a different deal when it becomes a business. I think the pace is just a little too accelerated.

Women's fast pitch softball has demonstrated Olympic ideals and requirements. We continue to have our voices not heard by the International Olympic Committee to do what is just and fair for female athletes throughout the world who participate in the sport.

The only athletic sport I ever mastered was backgammon
It was unbelievably difficult to get it made. Studios are extremely allergic to risk. Finally, after a long courtship, Lions Gate Films agreed to make the film. They liked the idea of a sports movie where spelling was the sport, something that might be compared to 'Hoosiers' or other good sports movies, but with a younger lead character.

We would love it to be a NCAA sport. We really have to look closely whether we can actually have scholarships given our current makeup.

When I see 200 kids from all over Volusia County occupying all 24 courts at the Florida Tennis Center on Friday nights, I get excited about the future of this sport.

There is no sport that we have where the team practices any harder than track. They are out there three hours a day, six days a week and there is no down time. (Wilson) plans meticulously.

The county convention gives the Democratic Party activists an opportunity to come together for a common effort. Politics is not a spectator nor an individual sport but, rather, a team effort to build the kind of communities, states and nation that all can be proud to call American. The Democratic Party of Henderson County is dedicated to citizen involvement in the political process.

It'll be one of the biggest games these girls have ever played in. As good as we've been the past couple of years they've never won a league championship in any sport.

It's a sport that you use muscles that you normally don't use.
Caving is not a solo sport.
There's a position for everyone. It's a very dynamic sport. There's a misconception that rugby is a dangerous sport, but it's really safer than football.

I like to have fun, because this sport is what it is. You can make it bad or you can make it good. Naturally, when things are going good, it's easy to get along. But I try to take the low times and make them good. If something's going bad and you just throw your arms in the air, it's not going to fix things.

It was the great spring festival of Central California. There was nothing like it. It was a great, great event. The name carries a real magic to people who have followed the sport for a number of decades.

As soon as it gets cooler out you feel like you want to hit somebody. It's just a game that you can't really forget. I mean it's so much fun getting the pads on and practicing with all the guys. You go into game day and all the excitement about it. The band's playing, just getting in there. Being able to throw passes and command an offense. I mean, everything about it. I love it. I love the sport.

I got sick of being ripped off by judges. I wanted a sport where there was direct competition; where it was up to you.
