From SoccerAmerica.com ... Emmy Barr's approach to soccer, her work ethic and the tenacity with which she patrolled the left flank during her professional career with the Washington Freedom, can be credited in part to her father, former major-league pitcher Jim Barr. Her father, who won 101 games in 12 seasons with the San Francisco Giants and California Angels, taught her the importance of preparation.
''I learned from his hard work'' she says. ''Even during the off-season, that's not your time to rest. ... He taught me how important working out is when no one's watching.''
