French international Lou López Sénéchal has made a surprise visit to a training session of the women's children's team that will represent Hozono Global Jairis in the Huelva Mini Cup.
The Endesa Women's League player has encouraged the little girls to continue playing, whether they dream of being professional players or not. Furthermore, she has told them about her experience in basketball since she was a child, emphasizing that they should not put pressure on themselves: “Ten years ago I would never have imagined being a professional player, and it's okay if you don't know what you want to do now either. If at some point you want to dedicate yourself to this, you will know.”
López Sénéchal has told of her experience at the most successful university in history, UConn, from which world-known stars such as Sue Bird, Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi and Breanna Stewart have emerged. Thus, the girls have been able to appreciate the merit of having competed in the NCAA in Connecticut.
The Mexican-French woman told them that, not being American, she had to make her own way to play in the American university league: “I made my own videos playing and sent them to more than 200 universities. If I have made it to the NCAA, you can too.”
In an act of powerful generosity, Lou wanted to give away the clothes she has from UConn to the girls at the quarry. The garments, with a high sentimental value for the player, are also highly valued by basketball fans given the fame of the team.
MVP on and off the court.
