In her second exclusive column for ESPN, Australian Olympian Emily Seebohm opens up about those who have inspired her as she gets set to race for gold in Rio de Janeiro.Im incredibly lucky to have so much support in my life, and its thanks to all those who are close to me that Im in the position Im in. Without them, thered be no way Id be in Rio chasing gold.To be honest, if I didnt go down the swimming path, Id love to have been a netballer -- I found it really fun in my younger days because its so different. As a team sport, you get to hang out together, and with swimming, its just you.But I do love swimming, and one of my big inspirations is Ian Thorpe. Hes had such an amazing career -- hes won the most Olympic gold medals in Australias history -- but thats not the whole story.Ive heard him speak about the challenges he faced during his career, and I think I know that feeling; starting so young with swimming and basically growing up in front of the camera. Its interesting hearing his take on his career, and from my side, seeing the media take on his life, its almost two completely different stories.Of course, my family is my strongest support network. Mum taught me to swim when I was a little kid; she, as well as dad and two of my brothers, are in Rio, which is great. I love knowing theyre here -- its nice having that support, and you can almost feel that energy coming through.Another major influence on my life is my partner in crime Mitch Larkin [a mens swimmer who is also on the Australian Olympic team]. It is so nice having him with me in Rio because hes a little bit of home while were on the other side of the world. Its so great that we get to share our experiences and we can talk about them with someone who truly gets it.As a couple, we have to make it up as we go along; during the year, were often in different countries and its really hard being away from him as theres not a lot of one-on-one time, so that makes it a challenge. But its really special when we do get to spend time together.Mitch has actually been really helpful because we draw from each other a lot, and its great for our swimming, but we can also get away from the pressure of the sport when we can and we can talk about everything outside of swimming.So what happens if one of us is successful and the other isnt at Rio? Of course, were both extremely competitive, but we both respect each other so much that it wouldnt matter if one of us did better because of the bond we have. Weve spoken about it and we know its a possibility -- weve just got to deal with it if and when we come to it.In saying that, itd be a dream if we both achieved the goals we set out to. Weve both put in enough hard work, so hopefully our dreams do become a reality. Jerseys For Sale .

Haerther, meanwhile, hit his fourth home run of the season and his third in the past three days. "The hitters came through for us today," said Vermilyea. "Garcia was very good. I thought we might get a complete game out of Justin. He pitched very well and we got some runs for him." Garcia (3-0, 3.38 ERA) got the win, while Kyle Ruwe (2-2, 3.00 ERA), the junk-ball pitcher for Sioux Falls, pitched a complete game and suffered the loss.
