Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2045183, member: 5798"] Being a good/effective rebounder is by design, and on purpose. If you take pause for a moment and reflect back on the players in days gone by that were prolific rebounders, you will notice how determined they were. They were great rebounders because they wanted to be. Pay close attention to Napheesa Collier during the next few games. She is one the team's best rebounders because she has been coached to do so. She has been taught and conditioned to want the ball when it's up for grabs. She will get right in the middle of a scrum, and fight for the ball. Rebounding must become instinctive. A good rebounder is not afraid of contact. Potential contact is of no concern to a rebounder. They want the ball, and will fight to get it, even with another teammate. Rebounding is a mindset. Collier has that mindset, so does Gabby. It also helps to have an instinctive nose for the ball. Dennis Rodman and Wes Unseld had it. Chantal Osahor (Washington) has it. None of these players were good rebounders by accident. They worked hard, and took great pride in doing so. [/QUOTE]
