Lisa FernÁndez

Fernández is keeping her game sharp in hopes of winning a third Olympic medal in Athens, Greece, in 2004, and she continues to play professional softball with the National Pro Fastpitch league (formerly the Women's Pro Softball League), as she has for several years. Even after she retires, "I definitely want to be able to stay in the sport," she told Kevin Tran. She is currently an assistant coach of her old team, the UCLA Bruins, "And if coaching is my calling, then I will do it-[w]hether it's UCLA or internationally. Softball is in my blood and it's something I love to do, and I plan on making a contribution in the sport once my playing career is done."
