How do you motivate yourself before the games? Every game is different, I motivate myself to win but also concentrate.
What kind of rituals you have before the games? Not much just listening music and getting my mind right.
Do you have anything you dislike about basketball? Nobody likes to loose. I don't mind losing games when the team playes good but if you loose a game not giving 110% then I am not happy.
In your eyes, what's the difference between men's and women's basketball? Men's basketball is way more physical, women's play slower but in my eyes smarter.
Have you done any other sports besides basketball? I started playing basketball when I was 7 so not really, but I have done swimming and track. I chose basketball because I liked it the best.
Tell us something about you
Basketball takes up most of my time so no time for hobbies, but I go to school so I guess this could be my hobby.
Tell us something unique that a lot of people don't know about you I am very competitive.
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you ? There are a lot of funny moments in life but can't think of the funniest.
Do you have anything else you would like to teel your fans? Come support women's basketball.

Orange juice, fruit salad and croissants.
