achieving anybody came goals hard kept setting smaller town work
I came from a smaller town and I just kept setting small goals and achieving them. Anybody can make it. You just have to work hard and I think I showed that.
believe exciting hard reason stop sweet work
It's really exciting to get to the Sweet 16, but we don't see any reason to stop now. We believe as long as we work hard as a team, we can keep winning.
booing cheering exciting might nice opposed people pit
It's pretty exciting to be going to The Pit where people might be cheering for us, as opposed to booing for us. It will be a nice change.
absolutely sitting
It's pretty amazing. The way we look at it we have absolutely nothing to lose. We're sitting here and we have a chance, which is pretty cool.
honor teammates testament
It's an honor. It's really a testament to my teammates and coaches.
difference environment home huge learn
It makes a huge difference (being on the road); it's not as comfortable in another environment. It's more comfortable at home when you know the rims and the crowd. It's something that we have to learn how to do.
fourth picking start strong tie
They're a very strong team. Right now we're in a four-way tie with them for fourth place (in the MWC), so we have to start picking up the wins.
writing rocks creative
A good edit process turns rocks into diamonds, and every author should love that part as much as the creative phase. I do love it. It's a different side to writing. It's like the fine-tuning.
olympics arriving want
There are days when I don't want to go to the gym or find myself not super motivated upon arriving. I would visualize myself playing at the Olympics.
sports people different
The best part of being a pro is being able to travel around the world. I have met so many incredible people and experienced different cultures all through sport.
fun feet long
I do love wearing heels but my feet can't be in them all day long. I want to have fun and dance so I need to be comfortable.
workout team play
Everyone on my team is different in terms of how long before a workout they prefer to eat. I like to eat my big meal 4.5-5 hours before I play. I usually eat a carb either rice or pasta with tofu or chicken. Around 2 hours before I play to like to eat greek yogurt with a banana.
mother real writing
I think I have always wanted to tell stories. My mother was the real catalyst. I kept talking about it and so she pulled out a story I wrote (and illustrated) back in elementary school. She used that as proof that I should be writing and had been doing so unconsciously for years.
challenges want sometimes
For me, setting and description is a challenge. I always want to get that part just right, and sometimes the words won't work.
