I love catching, being involved in every pitch of the game; obviously, it beats you up both mentally and physically.

I'm at my most comfortable out on the pitch when I'm in front of goal with the ball at my feet. It's about being used to certain situations, and with time, you will find, chances don't get snatched at.

You surprise yourself on some balls off the bat. You don't think you have a chance to catch it. And then your natural ability just takes over.

Because I'm fairly big, I like to use my body. So I'll control the ball, even when there's a player on me, and then I'll pass.

I like having the ball in my hands and being able to make plays, but I think my shooting is an asset, too.

They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it.

But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it's mine. It's just a feeling.

I love being out there on the mound with the ball in my hand. I can control the game. I'm out there. No clock - nothing happens until I throw that thing. Nothing happens. I love that feeling.

I'm aware that if the ball is thrown in my direction, I'm expected to catch it because the media is going to be on my back.
