Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 4037145, member: 5089"] A more in-depth local article with lots of interesting tidbits including changes already made by coaches. [I] It didn’t take long for Ducharme to realize that the little details on the court don’t get passed over at UConn. Ducharme said her footwork coming off a screen, something she had done “a thousand times in high school,” was corrected by the coaching staff to have her take fewer steps. Ducharme was receptive to making the changes, including when Auriemma wanted her to tweak her shooting mechanics. “One time I was just shooting on the side and he comes over and gives me little things on my shot to fix,” Ducharme said. “Things I had never really thought of and coach says it to me, and then you fix it and it makes a huge difference.” ... Ducharme spends her days working out on the court or in the weight room, an area of focus for her before she heads back to UConn. She feels there’s plenty for her to improve upon on the floor as well. She’s working on a quicker release to her shot and is looking to strengthen her ability to score from a multitude of areas.
