"I never had the advantage of being the tallest or the fastest on the court. I was just a little girl from Harlingen, Texas who loved playing basketball," Salinas said. "The percentage of Hispanics playing at the Division I level made my being there unheard of. If you play with your heart, good things will happen. I believed in myself and always tried to work harder than the people in front of me. With that said, it takes a village to get to the big stage. I didn't get into the record book alone. I couldn't have done it without my teammates."
