"You're not going to be at your best every game. If you do have a bad day you have to learn to get over it quickly and move on. Chances are there'll be another game next day, so you can't get down about it." (softball.org.au, 07 Mar 2018)

US EXPERIENCE
She joined Pennsylvania Rebellion of the National Pro Fastpitch [NPF] league in the United States of America in 2016 and has also played for the Chicago Bandits and Aussie Peppers in the same league. She says the NPF is a step up from softball in Australia and that the experience has improved her game and mental strength. "It's very different to what we are used to in Australia. Playing in the NPF has helped my hitting a lot. It's made me more knowledgeable about my game. I know my own swing back to front. I've learned how to handle the ups and downs. And sometimes there's nothing with my swing, it's just mental." (softball.org.au, 07 Mar 2018)
