Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4762986, member: 1131"] Most of this story could be told about several superstars -- Elena Della Donne comes to mind. Obviously she also had to grow up as a person (which took quite a while) before she could realize her potential on the basketball court -- and in her case that process took place without Geno in her ear. Tina Charles might be another example. Maybe superstars are more vulnerable to this problem because, before college, they had never encountered failure on the court, such as a game where they and others effectively blamed them for a loss. Rebecca Lobo had said that she had similar issues in her freshman and sophomore years. There are exceptions like Maya Moore and perhaps Paige, but they are few and far between. [/QUOTE]
