  Speaker 1: All right, what's up? What's up?
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Everybody? Welcome back to film study presented by coach. I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Rene Montgomery. I played eleven years in the WNBA. I've
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: been an All Star, I was six Woman.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Of the Year.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I've pretty much had every role that you could possibly
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: have on a team. So I'm excited to chop it
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: up with Hailey van Lyth Collegiate standout Louisville LSU TCU.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Welcome Hailey, And by the way, which school do you
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: wreck the most?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Which one should I lead with? As as your school?
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Well, nice to see you, and I thank you for
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: having me. But you know it's a conflict because I
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: spent the longest at Louisville, I have a degree, I'm alumni.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Obviously TCU is my last school, so there's an attachment there.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna rock with TCU right now. But you
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: know it's it's definitely it's up for debate.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm went TCU stand out.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Now number eleven pick in the WNBA draft plan for
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the Chicago Sky But talk to me about that though,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: because what I've noticed, and I played on different teams,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: whether that was even in the States or overseas. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: picked up a little something from everywhere I went, So
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I kind of want to go through each stop and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you tell me, like what you picked up from there, Like,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: so let's start with Louisville, Like what did you pick
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: up and learn at Louisville.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: You know, Louisville was the beginning of my college career,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: so there was a lot of maturing going on, you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: just growing as a young woman in general. But I
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: think mostly being comfortable in the college game. I think
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I learned the pace, what's expected, how you need to play,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: how to be successful. I kind of got the baseline of.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: That at Louisville.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Moving into LSU, I think LSU was huge for me
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: on the mental side of the game and how to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: be able to show up as my best self from
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: a mental standpoint, because you know, when you as you
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: go up higher in levels, I kind of learned that
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the separation really comes from who is mentally tougher, always
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: about skill set when everybody's really good. So LSU was
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: a huge year for me from the mental standpoint of
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: getting better. And then TCU was special because I kind
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: of got to put it all together. I got a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: chance to put together the physical aspect of the game
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: with the mental aspect of the game and kind of
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: just see what I could do in that year with
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Coach Mark, and it was. It was definitely memorable and
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I really enjoyed it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: So now you got your bag, You're heading into the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: WNBA with this guy, and I'm gonna just be honest,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Like when I went from Yukon to the pros, one
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of the hardest things for me to adjust with was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the fact that, like, you lose games more often. You know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in college, when you're on a good team, you don't
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: lose game. You lose a couple games a month maybe,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and then you get to the WNBA you might lose
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: three games in one week.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's just if you're if you're having one of those weeks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And so just talk through, like how has you evolved
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: from now? You you got all of the skill sets,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you learned all these things in college, and now you're
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in the WBA where your seasons are gonna be always
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a roller coaster. How are you putting all that together
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: now in your rookie season.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously it's been a journey of trying
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to learn every day. I think It's the biggest thing
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: for me is just being open to learning every single
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: day and taking every day as what it is and
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: then trying to be better the next day. Like you
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: can't get too ahead of yourself anytime I do, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: learn my lesson real fast, So taking it one day
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: at a time. But also I've never came off the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: bench in my career, and so learning how to change
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: my mindset to be able to do that and still
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: be myself and still impact the team and help the
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: team win, and like the different ways that I can
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: contribute to culture and winning habits that don't necessarily mean
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that I'm always on the floor.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: So it's still going on.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I'm still going through the process, but so far, I
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: think the losing part is definitely shocking. Yes, one hund shocking,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: But you know, every vet that I have has told me,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: like you know, your rookie year, it always like is
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: is a big hit, But then you kind of learn
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that's just how the game is at the soul.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: To your point, there is a way to have impact.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: For me, what I looked at when I was on
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the bench is all the all the ways the games
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: are flowing. Because each game, as I'm sure you're seeing
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: there's something different every game, whether you come in and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: they might need you to score because y'all are in
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a scoring drought, or you come in and you got
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to raise the defensive intensity take care of the ball.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: But are you noticing that now that like you come
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: into the game almost with an idea or a plan
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: of attack.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent, Especially the last couple of weeks,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I really felt that as I get to watch the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: beginning of the game, especially being a point guard and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: being a lot of ball screens, seeing how teams are
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: covering our ball screens with certain personnel, whoever the big
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is in the ball screen, if it's different depending on
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the big or the guard, it helps me be more
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: prepared and any type of preparation I can get this year,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: like I've been hungry for it, so definitely. I think
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: at the beginning, I took it for granted and I
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: didn't quite realize the opportunity I had to like study
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the game along the bench. But lately I've definitely definitely
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: have been watching and trying to learn so that when
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I go in, I already have a game plan of
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: what I'm about.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: To see exactly. It's a cheat code. I'm not even
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: gonna lie.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: It's a little cheatode where you get to you almost
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: get to see the other team's game plan. Like you
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: said before, you actually play against the game plan. When
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you're a starter, you don't like I wouldn't know if
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: they were trapping me because they don't want me to shoot.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they're like what they're going to hardhedge.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But if I saw them and how they was guarding
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the starting point guard, they might switch it up. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: usually teams have tendencies. So you talked about your being
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a rookie. Do you have a Welcome to the to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the w moment yet? It's only early halfway through there?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Do you do you have one yet? You know I
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: don't have one. I think I have a bunch of
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: tiny moments where I'm like, oh, but like not a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: huge one yet. So I think that one is waiting
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: for me. It's still it's still waiting on me. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: when I'm when it happens, i'll know it. You'll know
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: it when it happens, all right, So let's just get
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: into some of your places called film studies. So let's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: look at some film so as we can see off
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the ball in the corner. You got your teammate going
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: off the double. Now Angel rolls a little bit slow,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: so I know you can kind of see that way
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to kind of move with her, Cause if you came
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: up right away, obviously y'all would have been sitting in
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the same place as you can see, So way to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: come up at the same time. Wait on the timing
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of her boom, great pass. Now most people might assume
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: she was gonna shoot it. Even hold on, let's wait
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a minute. Look at the coaches. The coaches even thought.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Look at the coaches, they're like, hey, they thought it
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: was going up, but way to stay ready. She doesn't
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: shoot it, knocks it down. Is that a play that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: y'all work on? Is that a comfortable like you an
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Angel connection?
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I mean I think I know Angel's game pretty well now,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: so I know whenever I give it to her, she's
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: a very willing passer, and especially with me, she always
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: is yelling at me to knock threes down. So whenever
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: she has the ball and I'm in the vicinity, I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent moving my feet to try and get
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: a window to be open, because I know that she's
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: looking for me, and I think that getting stealing shots
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: like that where I can just get my feet set
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and catch and shoot, has been huge for me.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: To not pass up at this level.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: And I think I guess the question I would have
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: for you is like, how did you try to simplify
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: your game as you got to the pros so that
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: not everything was so hard all the time.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I really think the game slows down the more you
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: can anticipate this.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So even let's take this play right here, right like.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: You know Angel and you know what she does, her tendencies.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's the beauty of playing with somebody you Even here's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: another thing. You see how like you're not in the frame,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: your defender is completely turned around. Another thing to do
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: is to move so that they don't know where you
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: are when they turn around. So you could even slide
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: a little bit over so that Angel can see you,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and your defender's automatically gonna run back to where you
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: are there, so you're kind of where she expected.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You to be.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You could probably be a little more wide open if
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you moved over to the slot a little bit more.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: But I think the main thing is anticipating your teammates like,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I'm I was a small guard, so I need to
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: get clean looks.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: It'll help the percentage out.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: So the more you can anticipate what your teammates is
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: gonna do, and when you see your defender turn their head,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you got them. As soon as your defender looks like this,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: she must have forgot you as a shooter, baby, because
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: as soon as she gets that, you should have known
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: it's night night right there instantly.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And you playing with Angel, what'd.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You say it's her most slept on skill set, Cause
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you know there's a lot of things that she does
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: well rebounding, but what would you say is her slept
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: on skill set?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think her ability to play, you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: out of the high post or out of the dunker
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: spot and facilitate as well as score has been huge
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: for our offense. And you know, we run a lot
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: of stuff through her because of that. So I think
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: typically you don't necessarily think as uh think of biggs
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: as playmakers are reader like people that make reads. And
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I think that Angel is really good at at making reads,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: like whether it's to shoot, to pass, to just get
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: the ball moving. And I think I think that she
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: definitely excels at that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So use that you know, Like, so now you know
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: when you're in the game. Cause one of the main
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: things that helped me is each person I played with,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I knew exactly.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: What their specialty was.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: So that when you're playing with Angel, now you know
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: she's a playmaker. So that means that you need to
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: be slide and slide and slide, and like every time
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: she gets the ball, you're definitely not a suite. Mean,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: she's gonna shoot it, even though you saw all the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: coaches assuming she was gonna shoot it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Like, but you need to know, oh, she probably not
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: gonna shoot this.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: And so that's that's a good note for you. All Right,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: we're gonna go into the second play. The second play here,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: little catch and shoot play, little catch and shoot action.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I'm all right, the three is going on.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, come on now, listen.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I love I think the three is a game changer.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: So it's a skill set. If you haven't you're a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: spacer on the court, you can you know, you can
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: change the game and situationals. All by the way, stay
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: ready on the bench because situationals when they need a three,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: that's that's when you can really have impact, all right,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: So let's check this one out here. You're off the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: ball now, Kea Nurse gets a shot up. Great easy.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I played with Elizabeth Williams, one of the best rebounders
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: in the game. Look at you, So first of all,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: let's let's already look at you again.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: We done caught your defender. What are you doing? We didn't?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: We caught her again? Look at you.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I can see that you see her. What are your
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: thoughts right here? I'm gonna even just pose it, like,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts right here? Because I can see
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you seeing this.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Again, he's another big who I know is an extremely
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: william passer, and if she sees two people in front
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: of her, she's gonna look to find the open man.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And so I was just trying to get into a
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: space where she could see me because I knew that
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: my man had doubled crack down on her. So I
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: knew if she just saw me, she would give it
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Facts. I play with Easy too, and this is facts.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: There's three defenders in there with her. There's multiple options,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: but you got one of your teammates crashing, so that's
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: not an option.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Love, how you keep moving?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: So look you're here, but great because your defender comes
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: down low.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So you keep it playing, You keep moving.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Your defender's late, bah, take it, take it. So this
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: is so these are the kind of plays that within
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the flow. I'm gonna rewind it again because this is
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: within the flow of Office. This is off of an
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: offensive rebound. And you know they say there's no better
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: shot off of offs rebound.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Then what a dagger? Three yep?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And then you provided the dagger. So Kia Nursey comes
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: off of the screen, the down screen. Great Office, You're
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: already even before she shoots it. Though, look at you
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: already before she shoots it. You're still active, like you're active.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: You think about going in for the rebound, You're like, nah,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: easy got it, easy, got it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But this is your role, so here, easy gets it?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: You keep it moving. What is after a play like this?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: What does that do for you? After a play like this?
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I think it really just when you whenever you see
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the ball go through the net, it just is like
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: you get into a flow, a rhythm, whether you have
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: been in, whether I've been in for a while or
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I just checked in. As soon as I see the
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: ball go through the net, like especially this year with me,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: you know, rookie. It just helps me calm down and
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: relax and I stop moving so fast and the game
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: slows down and I can just take a deep breath
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: for a second.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fat. That's the question. How aggressive?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Like when you come into the game, are you sometimes
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: like all right, I want to just play it safe
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: so that I don't make mistakes. Or when you come
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: into the game, where you thinking all right, I want
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: to be aggressive? Like what are your thoughts when you
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: come into the game.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when I first started, I was coming
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: in just trying not to make a mistake and not
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: be a reason that the other team went on a run.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: And then I kind of learned that having that aspect,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: one I was still making mistakes, and two it wasn't
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: helping me, you know, help the team at all or
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: earn myself more time on the court. And so I
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: kind of had to learn that you have to be
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: willing to take the risk to be aggressive to make
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: an impact because people are too good. You can't just
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: blend in and think that you're going to get to
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: stay out there. So I'm getting better at it. I'm
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: learning the balance between how to be aggressive, Like what
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: that looks like as a point guard for our team
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily mean me trying to get a bunch of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: shots up. It just means, I mean, really just trying
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: to get in the paint and create some type of
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: movement or.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Flow for for our team. I think.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: So it's it's changing. My mindset is changing every day.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: But I'm I'm glad that I have surpassed like the
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: the passive.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Version of myself at this point.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: No, that is amazing, and that is probably the hardest thing, like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: because you should be aggressive coming in. But aggressive might
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: mean you hit 'em with a shot, fake drive, drop
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: it to angel, get hurt, easy bucket. Aggressive might mean
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you locked up shot clock violation, you didn't even get
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a still in the stat sheet, but you know you
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: did that. And so that is a fine line of
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: finding like, alright, how aggressive can I be? It definitely
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean shooting, but that that is gonna be the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the the fine line that every player unless you're like
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the top of the scouting report where you know it's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: like straight up green lights, that's f that's for every player.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: So once you get to figure out that and you
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: really lock in on your role, which I see the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: coach has you in a lot of catch and shoots,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: which is great for you though, because if they're putting
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: you in that role, then they trust you to knock
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: it in.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You said, angels telling you to shoot it. Your coaches
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: are putting you in that, so will you get it?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: You gotta knock it in.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: You gotta knock it in or at least take it,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: because sometimes not taking it throws the offense off as well.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Yes it does.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to play number three. All right,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: you're at the top of the key. We get it
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: to easy down low. I can see you're checking it out,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: checking the scene, all right, So this is great because
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: right now it's looking like this play could be going
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: nowhere fast. Do you remember this play, by the way, yes,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: You know? You know what happens? Okay, happen all right? Cool?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Because what happens here, what I love is the timing
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of it. All if you would have let me play it,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: because we know the secret that they don't know watching it,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: so let me play the clips so that they can
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: see what we know. But if you would have went
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: too soon, this would have never worked. But your timing
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: is great. First of all, did you notice you have
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a big on you here? What were your thoughts when
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: you see there's a miss. There's a cross matchup with
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Sonya and Alia right now?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was trying to I again, he
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: was looking to pass she she realized it wasn't the
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: look she wanted, and so I was trying to get open.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: But Ali was almost playing aggressive to defend me off
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: the ball. And what And as I've developed my game,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I've learned that if I can just I don't even
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: have to have the ball to use my quickness. It's
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: honestly better for you for me to use it off
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the ball. And so I was trying to set her
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: up to get a cut cause I wanted to get
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: a look at the rim. I hadn't made a ton
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: of shots this game.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: So so Gotti Gotti right here. I mean, beautiful timing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Even let me even just rewind it to where like Sonya,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Like I'm watching Sonya too. You see Camilla kind of
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: dive in. It brings Sonya in with it too. So
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Camilla took gravity with you, y'all cut at the same time.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I don't even think this was playing. It was just
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a beautiful, a beautiful sequence, wide open. This is the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: perfect way to get yourself going. Yeah, and then after
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: plays like that, so now you're thinking, after plays like that,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I got myself a cut.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts then? Like, are you like? What?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts after this is even? I mean,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: this is a big bucket right here too. That makes
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the score. I'm assuming it's about to be fifty two
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: fifty six. We're in the third m What are your
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: thoughts in these moments?
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I mean again, it helps me slow the game down
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: and recognize and like you said, I had the mismatch
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: with Aliyah, and I think that slowing down to recognize
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: those mismatches, whether they're with me or they're with one
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: of my teammates, and how to get myself in the
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: best position to take advantage of it has been something
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: that I've gotten a lot better at over the course
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: of the last few games. And whether that's I boomerang
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: it so that I can get it off the catch.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: If it kicked it out to me and I couldn't
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: get Alia right on the on the rip, I would
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: boom rang it and try to get it back so
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: that I could get around the next rip instead of
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: dribbling so much. Yeah, So like learning little things like
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: that and being able to see it play out in
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: real time has definitely built my confidence.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: No, that's a great point too, because I think that
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: is the jump too from college to pro. In college,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: you can almost dribble yourself into any shot you want, like, yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: because that's just how college is. But in the pros
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: it's more of a cut yourself pick and roll.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Off the pick and roll. It's a different form.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Like you said, your quickness still applies, but you were
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: just using it in different places.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. All right, Let's go
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to this next play play number four.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: All right, so I love this already. People may not
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: notice what just happened, but for me, this is a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: great detail. Look at where you catch it and then
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: look at where you dribble it down to boom. What
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: do you think that just did to the whole offense?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: It It helped me set up the screen, so I
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: was gonna I'm gonna be able to get her off
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: uh of each screen right here because she was jumping
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: in a little bit.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't like the spacing.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: So when I when I set it up, I I
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: was trying to get a little bit better spacing and
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: help you out so that she could set a good.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Screen for me.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, literally, look.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: At Look at the three defenders in this gaggle right here,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Easy's defender, you're a defender, and Rebecca Allen's defender. Watch everybody,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: when you take this dribble, watch what they do.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody steps over.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Look at that. Just that one dribble change the whole
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: entire play.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Because now, like you said, Easy's one of the best
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: screeners in the league.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I p like I said, I played with her.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I know either i'm'a get open, she gonna get open,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: or somebody's gonna get open. So you get her down.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: And now you come off of the screen. Great shoulder
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to shoulder boom.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Now what are you seeing? What are you looking at?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts here?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: When I immediately come off the screen, I always look
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: at the post defender's feet, where they're facing, how close
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: they are to me. But immediately when I looked at that,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I saw fee too. I there was two people in
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: front of me, so and it wasn't my defender. So
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I knew that someone was wide open because I had
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: two people staring at me, and both of them are
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: really good defenders, so I was really about to get
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: off this ball. But yeah, that's I always look at
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the the post defender's feet, and Fee gave me a
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: pretty easy read. She sucked in pretty hard, So yeah
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: it wa It was an easy read.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Easy read.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: But I the reason I'm not gonna just let this
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: easy read go. There's a reason this read was so
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: easy this first part. Look at Fee, We looked at
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the other three defenders. Look at what Fee did when
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: you did that. Uh, she thought she was about to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: have to go help so instantly. Now you've changed the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: whole entire play off of just one one move coming
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: down low, everything's easy money after that, this is just
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: textbook one on one.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: You come off.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Now everybody's at your wheel because everybody's helping, everybody's recovering.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: You got Rachel telling you, like baby, Rachel.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Let you miss it. But again, don't don't forget the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: little details. You know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, are there any other things that you've noticed
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: that like, oh, if I just do just this little thing,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I've noticed that I have more success in the game,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Like just simple things like this. Have you noticed any
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: other little things that you've noticed that may be small
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: but have large impacts.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think another Another one that I've learned has
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: helped me a lot is to open up the pocket
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: pass for my bigs. I'm a downhill player off of
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: a ball screen, so I like to come off tight.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: But in this league, I've kind of had to learn
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I need get as much space from my post defender
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: or my player as possible, So still coming off the
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: screen tight, but taking a little bit wider angles so
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: it opens up space to where Alana would have to
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: make a read to either guard the pocket or take me,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: and then the read is easy. I'm dumping off to
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: eat instead of playing so close to her that Alana
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: can really guard both of us and I can't make
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: any read. So the little adjustment of coming off tight
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: to the screen but still a little wide has really
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: helped me a lot.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, like that because your threat, the fact that you
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: can shoot, makes the defense have to respect that and
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: pulls them to you easy jump. I call it Merry
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Christmas when you get these post players, these little gifts.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: You know, we got to normalize. Listen the football like
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the offensive line always.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Like they're showing love. The
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks showing love.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Post players gotta start showing us love and we giving
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: them Christmas presents.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Like give me a point or something, yeah, something, yeah.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Alright, alright, let's go to a little step back action.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Alright, what we got here? So we got a little
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: step back going on. Okay, so now you got the
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: ball in your hand. First of all, do you like that?
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Do you like when you had the ball in your
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: hand at the top of the key. Yes, okay, cool,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: So you got the ball weed, So you're in your
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: comfort zone. And this made me think of something. So
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: you played three x three. How how do you think
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: that helps you with space? Because three x three, like
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you have to it's dogs only, it's what I call it,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: like where if you're if you're on the court defender
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: or offense, like you have to figure it out because
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: there's not other people to help. So how do you
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: think three x three has helped you, like in these
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: types of situations.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Angles, cutting, setting up screens, understanding roles and spacing like
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: three on three has helped me so much with that. Really,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: when I when I tried to move to the point
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: guard position from TCU, like the the Olympic. My three
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: on three Olympic summer helped me like understand how to
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: navigate that position so much and how to get people
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: where you want them so that you know the defense
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: has to make a choice and understanding things like that
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: that has been huge. And it also like I set
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: a lot of screens in three on three, so I
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: developed this skill set of being able to be a
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: great screener two, which I think as a guard, it
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: is something that you can really add value to your
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: game if you're able to do so. Yeah, three on
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: three definitely like dogs only if you don't compete, you're
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: gonna get exposed.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. But that's a great point.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Screeners usually open if you said a good one, so
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: here it's the one an island, they literally give you
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: a high pick and roll. To me, this signals, uh oh,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: it's get a bucket time. So Camilla sets the screen,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: the defender tries to fight over a little bit. Ooh
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: ooh this is nice, and you know what, this is
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: still a tough shot. But how are you like, so
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: when you get to that spot, is this one of
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: your spots? Like where if I can get to that spot,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I feel comfortable.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a A A MIDI going to my left is
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: high on my shot chart of of shots that I'm
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: trying to get to, which I think y is valuable
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: because it's it's hard to guard men range it a
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: lot of people already there expecting the three are the layup,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: so it helps me keep defenders off balanced.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Love that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Love that, Yeah, don't forget the mid and so try
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: to find those moments fast break off the pick and
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: rolls like that, get to like you control your pace,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you control your game. So try to get to to
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: those moments in those hot spots. Like Simona Gustus, I
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: play with her. I already knew, like if Simone was
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: struggling that game, I'm calling the play to get her
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: to that spot because I know all she needs is
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: one and then it's a rap.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You know the other ones get there.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: So you almost sometimes might have to call your own
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: number after you gotta flow of the game. I'm not
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: saying right when you check in, you call it, cause.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: That everyone on so low down a little bit.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Y'all.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Get a couple of sis, give a couple merried Christmases,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and then you might call your midrange game after you're
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: feeling that, So just something to keep in mind. Get
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: to your hot spot, all right, last play we got here,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: so balls in your hand again. We know you like
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: that now because you let us know. Oh okay, I
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: see this is a double screen happening.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Great setup.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Your defender fights over the first screen now here, yep
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: you could, y'all can read.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Definitely a late switch.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: But the reason it's late is because they don't want
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: to leave their man. And you just talked about this,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna see. You just talked about bringing your defender.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Now look at this separation. For me, I see two
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: things developing right now. What do you see developing right now?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: E's role is about to go behind her defender, So, yep,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I have E. Probably I could lead E to the
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: rim because emma cannon is so high. And then then
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: it forces the person guardian Beck to make a choice
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: of whether she's gonna cry, and then I have the
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: throw behind or not, And obviously I end up I
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: end up making a play this this.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: You know this play already. I love it. I love
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that you know them all.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: I know all my good things.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Good things are her to come by when you're so
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: everything I've done good.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I know, I know it by heart.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I love that though, keep that energy, but this is
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: still the right play though. You named all the right things,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and this is still the best option because as the
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: play developed more, you can see that Emma.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Did a great job.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: She did recover quickly, and you did a great job
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: of look at look at these two defenders. They almost
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: hit each other. So once you see that, yes, raps,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: like what is this boom? They hit each other like that,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: it's reps, and then you just keep going downhill by
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: the boom, by the bang, easy layup. But that's all
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the reads and so sometimes it's a point guard. It
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: can feel weird calling your number, but sometimes that's our
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: best play. Like that was something I struggled with because
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I like to set people up, but sometimes it's literally
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the best play for you to sh that shot.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Which is that one there? All right? So now it's
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: time to get in your bag. Baby. We've broken down
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: your game with the court. Now I want you to
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: give us, you know, a situation.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I want to get you a situation and you tell
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: me how you would handle it. So you got your
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: bag there. I think you got a little president there
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: that you're gonna read to us.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Well, I had to grab my coach bag, one of
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: my favorites, bring it with me everywhere. Oh okay, do
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: we have a little something in here?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, we got what we got? What's in the bag?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: It says, would you rather make a game winning shot
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: or love a game winning assist? Why? Okay, I'm a
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: natural score. Okay, I'm a natural too. So I'm gonna
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: stick to my roots and say game winning shot because
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: that's just my DNA of who I am.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: And let's go me like that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: So we're sticking with it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, So no, So then you got the game. It's
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: a time. It's a tide ball game.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Like, let's say you got less than ten seconds left.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: What play are you drawing up to get yourself the
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: game winning shot? What play would be just the perfect
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: play for.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: You in that moment? Can you draw this up?
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think you have. Let me see cause,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: let me see what you got, coach.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Come, let me let me put my coaching hair on. Really, okay,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I got it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Let's see what we got and talk us through it.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Where we go and talk us through it?
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, So to get a to set up a play
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: for me to make a read or get a bucket.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I've learned that I love guard to guard ghost actions
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: cause it's hard for people to guard them. It takes
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of communication to guard it correctly, and a
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: lot of time people aren't willing to communicate to do it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: So it always gives me an advantage. But of course
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with the ball on the right side
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: because I want to go to my left. I'm a
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: true lefty and I always like one of my best
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: shooters to do the ghost with me. Whoever on the
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: floor is my best shooter. I want them to come
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: from the bottom. Let's get the bigs.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're getting reaction over here.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I like this.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm gonna have I want the big space
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: in the dunker because I want I want a lot of.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Space to create in the key if I get that deep.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: And really it's a simple play because it makes the
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: defense and I just all I want is the guard
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: to come up and I'm gonna start moving slowly towards
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: them and it's a ghost and they don't hit it,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: and then I'm coming downhill to my left hand, which
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: is where I make I make a lot of good
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: plays and all the good breeds.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: So show it to us, show us, show us the
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: board now, because I know what you're talking about.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: But let everybody.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: So basically, the reason that you want the best shooter
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: is because that's the biggest chance for people to make
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: a mistake. Somebody might stay connected. They don't want to
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: leave the shooter. Now you come off clean because your
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: man might have switched on to them. Now you have
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: a clean, strong left handed drive going downhill.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: You just told us.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: That MIDI to the left is your sweet spot, so
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you could stop there, you could go all the way.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Even if they do get a clean switch and they
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: guard it correctly, I just I'll just bounce it out
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: and play one on one and probably get to some
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: sort of drag step back, any type of action going
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: to my left. So even if they do guard it right,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: they still have to guard the ISO at the end,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: they're not escaping that. So I think it's a great play.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: That's how you stay true to yourself, Like, that's how
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you get.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: To where you're going.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: All right, So before we wrap this up, I just
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: want to give you my two cents right quick, because
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I can see, like, first of all, I love that
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: you're a student of the game. I can tell that
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: this is a film study we had, but you already
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: have studied all of your film And I can tell
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: that the thing, the thing that is the hardest thing
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: to keep and the easiest thing to lose in the
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: WNBA is confidence.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: And so with shooting, like confidence shows up everywhere.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: It shows up in your shooting, it shows up in
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: your energy, it shows up in your attitude.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: So I know it's such a simple thing.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: But I made a career off of showing up the
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: exact same way every day, Like it don't matter if
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sick, if I'm having a bad day, a good day,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: you know what you're gonna get from me every single night.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And my coaches could rely on that. It didn't matter
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: if I was hitting shots that night, it didn't matter
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: if I was getting a lot of dimes. It didn't
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: matter because they knew that I was gonna come in,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I was gonna know my scout, I was gonna have
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: a certain energy, and I was gonna limit my mistakes.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: So my best advice that I could give to you,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: somebody that's already doing all the right things that you
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: can to put yourself in position, like talk nice to
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: you in your head.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's easy.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: It's easy talk.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Nice to you, okay, Like cause in our heads is
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: where we have the real warfare, and it's where we
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: really be. We're mad at ourselves almost cause we know
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: we can do better. So you gotta just kind of
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: talk nice to you a little bit better and that'll
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: just carry out further.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So that's that's all I got.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you chopping chopping it up with me for
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: film study presented by Coach.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Thank you and I
