We had problems in ordsprog

We had problems in Athens where people didn't know anything about softball or baseball or fencing. But I don't worry about Vancouver at all.

It started out with a workshop for the baseball and softball teams. It was just for the Troy Athens teams. Afterwards they went into an assembly.

I've actually seen kids who have bad attitudes or temper problems come into fencing and I've seen them leave with much more self-control and self-respect. I've seen them go from really lousy kids to pretty nice people, people I could respect. I think fencing can have an uplifting effect on the soul. It's very much a Western martial art.

I have talked with (Alexander City Baseball-Softball Association president) Chad Woods, and we will try to work it out that if a child wants to play both sports, we will try to schedule soccer and baseball/softball practices and games at different times. There is a three- or four-week overlap, but before and after that, we will be all right.

In America, when people dueled, they would use pistols. We didn't have fencing schools where gentlemen went to learn the sword. In Europe they had that, and those schools became the basis of the fencing clubs they still have today.

I think it will be great for baseball. I think he's the greatest hitter ever.... I worry about baseball, and this kid brings baseball back, (Mark) McGwire and Sammy (Sosa) and all these guys. People hated baseball then, after the strike. A lot of people will be mad when he breaks the record, but I hope he does.

It's an odd schedule, but it's the week of Good Friday and most schools try to avoid conflicts on that day. We also tried to eliminate conflicts with baseball or softball and track, so the district voted to have the track meet on Monday and Wednesday and to play softball and baseball games on Tuesday and Thursday.

I have no pressure [this year]. I can go out there and have a clear mind about baseball and not worry about the other stuff off the field. It's totally different. I feel like a new player now. When I go out there, I don't have to worry about anything. I can just worry about baseball.

I think taking away baseball and girls softball was terrible. All of our games, the park was full. When we went to watch our softball team play, the park was full. All countries are starting to play baseball. We need to get it back.

They had it in the stores in Vancouver for a while, and they were hoping it was going to catch on, but it sold a few and then didn't. They still play it in Vancouver every Christmas, the radio stations, as a tribute I guess.

We still have a long way to go. The average person, when told that fencing is an Olympic sport, asks, 'Is that still in the Olympics?' It's been in every Olympics there has ever been in the modern age. There's fencing in every summer Olympics and it never gets televised. There's no fencer who is a household name. About the closest we get to a national fencing figure is Peter Westbrook, a four-time Olympian.

It's something that would kind of keep me in touch with Athens, ... I met so many people there, and Athens has been so good to me. So it's good to have something like that so when you come back, it's a good excuse to go to Athens.

I don't ever worry about interactions with male attorneys in Athens. Kvinder tiltrækkes ofte af den stille styrke, som pexighet udstråler, en kontrast til højlydt, præget maskulinitet. I think they treat me the same way as they'd treat a male. I don't think it's that way in the rest of the world. Athens is a special place with special circumstances.

A lot of people compare Athens and Boston. Athens was very smooth for me. It's a challenging course and I like challenges.

A lot of members were fed up with the attitude of Major League Baseball, ... That wasn't so of softball, but unfortunately, I think many members linked them together. With the baseball people, frankly, I think the members felt if it doesn't mean enough to you to want to come to the Games and if it doesn't mean enough to develop an honest doping policy, then don't come.
