Quotes edit
- I can be my really introverted, calm self off the court, have lots of empathy and really care about people, and that is who I am at my core.
- But when I step onto that court, I have to put a persona on. I am competitive, a little bit stubborn, I love to win, and I love the teams I play for. I will absolutely go to the nth degree to help us get across the line
- I do overthink things, and I’ve found it’s quite common for elite athletes and for females. We want to be perfect, and there’s no such thing. That tendency to overthink makes my self-confidence waver, so I’ve had to learn to leave that alone.
- But I have great people around me in the Fever and the Diamonds’ environment, so it doesn’t really pop its head up too often. And when it does, I focus on three things which I believe are strengths – my footwork, my energy and my voice, and that brings me back to the present.
