So, Walker turned to her parents and then-[U][B]UConn assistant Marisa Moseley, who helped Walker break down different aspects of the game she didn’t understand her freshman year.[/B][/U] “(She) made me understand and made me have that passion for the game again — never giving up and always believing in myself,” Walker said. “Like I can do this, you can do that. It’s just a process.” Collier, Walker’s teammate at UConn for two seasons, spoke with her last week after she declared. Walker wanted to know what to expect in the WNBA, and the 2019 WNBA Rookie of the Year with the Minnesota Lynx seemed like a good source. [U][B]“I think, honestly, all UConn players translate pretty well to the pros because of how they prepare us mentally,” [URL='https://theathletic.com/1682247/2020/03/17/napheesa-collier-on-life-at-home-and-preparing-as-if-the-wnba-season-is-still-on/']Collier said[/URL]. “You obviously need some physical talent, but being mentally stronger is such a huge part of the game and they prepare us so well from Day 1 at UConn.

I think she’ll be just fine.”[/B][/U] 20/03/25/how-megan-walker-transformed-her-game-at-uconn-all-the-way-to-the-wnba-draft/?source=weeklyemail [/QUOTE]
