american-athlete cut good talk team
I think it's good to talk more about the team atmosphere, chemistry, and leadership, because not everyone is cut out to be a star.
american-athlete ask changes coaches depending diminish either increase role
Your role changes as coaches ask you to increase your role or diminish it. And depending on how you look at it, either can be a positive.
american-athlete games good local ncaa stations televised
When I went to college, we had a very good local following, but stations only televised two or three NCAA games a season. And when I went to Europe, once in a while we had a good crowd, but usually not.
aggressive american-athlete course earn older player share surprised tricks won younger
I was surprised I won the award because I've always been a very aggressive player and I earn my share of fouls on the court. I play rough, and because I'm an older player, of course I use tricks on the younger players.
american-athlete hard longer lots million playing
There's lots of charity stuff that I can do. There are actually a million things to do here, but it would be very hard for me to stop going overseas, because I've been doing that for longer than I've been playing in the WNBA.
play careers issues
For me, the money isn't a big issue. I'm at the end of my career and I'm just happy to play.

You shouldn't just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.

Players should know that if you can't make the contribution of the winning shot, that your attitude every day when you come to practice, or the positive contribution you make through cheering and keeping up team morale, is just as important in the overall picture.

To be on television and have my nieces and nephews see me, and seeing them wear my shirt to the games and be proud, it's so sweet. Sometimes it feels like it's just a dream.
player yesterday starting-over
It's funny, 'cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they'll ask me questions about playing overseas or finding an agent.
basketball player sight
I try to never lose sight of what a special time it is to be a women's basketball player.
basketball hurt rough
It's not to hurt anyone, but basketball can be rough.
years games play
Every year I try to keep in excellent shape and improve some part of my game. I play in the offseason overseas to keep my game tuned up and hopefully improve a little in some area.
basketball winning thinking
I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game, that we are only as a good as our opponents, and whether you win or lose, to always give 100 percent.
