“You know that line in the movie A League of Their Own? The one where Geena Davis is quitting the team to go home and she says the reason is because ‘it just got too hard? Tom Hanks, her coach tells her, ‘it’s supposed to be hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it.’ Well that’s exactly how I feel about this organization. It’s all about the opportunities this team provides for young women chasing their dreams and building their confidence. It’s about the thousands of kids in our community that look up to these players as role models, and it’s about persevering against all odds.”
