Baseball wasn't necessarily my first sport in terms of liking it. I'd never played baseball or softball growing up.

I think any player, as a rookie coming into any sport, has to prove themselves.

I was a tomboy growing up, so I think I naturally take on a little male swagger.

I think pressure is good. Just watching my brother and my dad be professional athletes, I think pressure has driven them and has caused them to excel more.

The kind of boy's club I'm used to? It is definitely not a jock-y, frat-y kind of thing. They say, 'I'm sensitive and nerdy,' but actually, it's like, 'You're a huge child and you're terrified of women, but you don't like sports, so you think that makes you less of a misogynist.'

I want to play for Central because I love the club. I was raised there and taught football there. Central is where it all began for me.

It's true that time is against me, and I am closer to hanging up my boots, but one thing I have clear is that I will be involved in football. I don't know how, but I will be related to football. It's my life.

I don't picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don't think anyone else pictures me that way as well.
