She's had a great experience there working with (Skyline softball coach) Denise Long. She's had good instruction and lots of playing time.
I expected them to go soft on each other when they went head-to-head, but they didn't. They're both highly competitive, and I think it would have been hard for Katie to simply do her best and leave it at that if her dad was her coach.
That's where she gets most of her ball know-how. She's loved being with him and his teams.
They've always been very, very close. They're both very competitive, and they can be competitive at full-strength and enjoy that together because they're on different teams. They spend a lot of time analyzing both teams and both games.
