Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 4306529, member: 11252"] I actually really like what Geno said in an article shortly after the season about Azzi's confidence. It's why he's such a great teacher, that anyone can learn from. He said that "Confidence comes from putting the time in and doing it to a certain level every day, doing it against competition, and then going home and going ‘I got this.’ Confidence doesn’t come from someone else saying, ‘You got this.’ That’s a part of it, but it’s not the biggest part of it. Self-confidence is way more important than someone else having confidence in you.” [URL="https://www.ctinsider.com/uconn/article/UConn-women-s-basketball-Auriemma-Bueckers-fouls-17071487.php"]Geno Auriemma might ‘lead the country’ in technicals while defending Paige Bueckers: ‘That kid gets fouled more than any kid in America’[/URL] It's such a good point. If she's healthy next year, I have no doubt she'll consistently play at a high level. And when you do that it's probably hard not to have confidence. But I can only imagine the roller coaster this year must've been for her, especially with all the expectations, and seeing Paige do what she did last season. [/QUOTE]
