Pitching a whole new ball game

Teresa Wilson, known as the godmother of American softball, is helping steer China's national women's team into the global spotlight.

After coaching US collegiate squads to 839 wins and reaching the NCAA final nine times between 1986-2012, Wilson could have chosen retirement and basked in her legacy as one of the greatest bench bosses in the sport's history.

Instead, she brought her expertise and passion for the game across the Pacific after being appointed head coach of Team China in May.
