3. What’s your perfect day off?
A: Sleep in...make a big breakfast of blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon...hang out with family...catch a St. Louis Cardinals game at Busch Stadium...relax and watch a movie.

4. What famous person most inspires you and why?
A: I am inspired every day by my fellow teammates on Athletica and the National team but especially those who are parents. I don't know how they show up every day with the same level of energy and enthusisam after chasing around their little ones and getting no sleep. They're amazing.
