There is always someone better than you. Whatever it is that you do for a living, chances are, you will run into a situation in which you are not as talented as the person next to you. That's when being a competitor can make a difference in your fortunes.

I think that it was a great feeling and probably a little bit more special because of the length of time that had passed before we won, but I think more importantly, it was just a great feeling because this team had such strong leadership and they had great chemistry.

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 have a love-hate relationship with losing. I hate how it makes me feel, which is basically sick. But I love what it brings out.

I don't give out compliments easily.

It's harder to stay on top than it is to make the climb, Continue to seek new goals.

The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.
