Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2578653, member: 8501"] You are absolutely right in the importance of confidence, which speaks to the value of the mental part of the game. On the other hand, it's surely not close to all about confidence. Lou is a great shooter but has spent thousands of hours since she was a little girl working on her shot, her form, her touch, her release, her follow through. Her dad taught all three daughters how to shoot and adjust. Until last year that was 75% of her game with her passing another 20%. Her enormous drive to improve the other areas of her game have led her to where she is now. Great shooter, superb passer, good defender, ok rebounder. She will only continue to improve with more work, experience and time. Gabby comes at this with a totally different style and skill set. Her unbelievable athleticism leads to her amazing defensive play and huge jumping ability and sense of where the ball is and where it is going. ANTICAPATION!!! Learning to shoot better at this point in her career I believe while not impossible, is very difficult. Also Gabbys energy and skill set is based on a motor that never stops or hardly slows down. Good shooting requires being able to do that even for a few seconds. I surely believe Gabby has and will continue to work on her shot and maybe get a little better. While I hope I'm wrong here, I don't think she will ever be a good shooter. Also sometimes what your striving for can mess up what you already have. Her confidence is in her strengths and they are awesome. Surely she should work at it! Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
