Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3428886, member: 7548"] You can't have real confidence unless you experience success and fight through difficulties. As the article says, she has gotten incrementally better from the Baylor game to the TN , Team USA and OR games and no doubt she will get herself schooled in SC and quite possibly be overwhelmed. Experiencing and fighting through that is the only way to get real confidence and it is clear she understands that. Few HS players come in with world conquering confidence to start and with everything UConn throws at them, it is not realistic. The particular problem with Liv at the moment is to push her through her instinct to be more of a perimeter player. That is the most interesting part of the article to me. He actually says Rebecca suffered from that malady her first 2 years. So you get somebody like Liv who's 6-5 and long, and you go, 'Why do you [I]not[/I] want to play inside?'" he added. "Other than the fact that it's physical in there, and you're going to get beat up. I don't think you made one jump shot against Oklahoma, and you had 27 points. See how easy it is?' "The default button now is, 'Oh, just let them shoot 3s.' I don't think that helps Liv one iota in becoming a better basketball player." [/QUOTE]
