Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

First and foremost, she always gives the glory to God for her talent that she was blessed with second she looks up to Kelly Maxwell who gave her pitching lessons that started Oklahoma State University, then went onto OU to help them get a national championship and now is playing women’s professional ball


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

The coach told Amistye she had nothing to prove just to play hard. Amistye turned around and told her Coach. She had everything to prove to herself that after three knee surgeries that she could still be the best athlete and reach the collegiate level and possibly pro level. Also making MVP at Allstate was pretty amazing!
