Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3360003, member: 7511"] I found Geno’s comment that Megan worked “at a HS level” as a freshman very interesting. I watched Megan play 4 games in HS over her sophomore & junior years when I used to live in VA. She frequently eased into a game, not necessarily playing hard at first. But she could turn it on like flipping a switch whenever she needed to. During her senior year, going after her 3rd straight state championship with her Monacan HS teammates, with Geno in attendance, Megan was pretty average for the 1st 3 qtrs, as her team fell behind by a sizable deficit. In the 4th qtr Megan took over the game scoring close to 20 pts as Monacan won. After the game, Geno congratulated Megan, but he told her, “If you can do that in the 4th qtr, you should be able to do it in the 1st qtr too.” When Megan got to college, she couldn’t just turn it on and off whenever she needed and be successful. The competition was much better and she had to learn how to go hard all the time. Now she practices hard all the time. She plays hard all the time. She trains hard all the time including managing her diet to sustain a superior fitness level. For Megan, it didn’t happen overnight. But once she finally figured out what it took to be great at this level, she was all in. [/QUOTE]
