To me, teamwork is a lot like being part of a family. It comes with obligations, entanglements, headaches, and quarrels. But the rewards are worth the cost.

There is not that many players that really can take over games, signed Candace Parker, I really felt like at that time that a National Championship was certainly in reach.

I think sometimes for me that sounds like almost being selfish. I am not about personal records.

Losing strengthens you. It reveals your weaknesses so you can fix them

By doing things when you are too tired, by pushing yourself farther than you thought you could - like running the track after a two-hour practice - you become a competitor. Each time you go beyond your perceived limit, you become mentally stronger.

Individual success is a myth. No one succeeds all by herself.

With attitude, you can determine your own performance.
