GET TO KNOW BUBBA NICKLES

Personal Motto: Never stress, just do your best, and trust God with the rest

Three words her friends would use to describe her: dorky, excited and passionate

If she wasn't playing softball she would be: I would probably be hosting my own television show about interior decorating because I love everything about interior design on HGTV

What it means to play for USA Softball: "It means that I get to play for the best country in the entire world and live out my childhood dream of playing for the same three letters that so many of the greatest softball players in history played for as well."
