Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 4059420, member: 7548"] Nice comprehensive article on Naphessa by Chantel at the Athletic [URL='https://theathletic.com/2845892/2021/09/24/napheesa-collier-and-the-lynx-make-it-clear-dont-push-them-around-in-the-wnba-playoffs/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983']Napheesa Collier and the Lynx make it clear: Don't push them around in the WNBA playoffs – The Athletic[/URL] The part I found interesting was how hard her freshman year was mentally and how much more impressive Paige being so on top of the mental side of the game was. "As coach Geno Auriemma installed the offense, a physically and mentally exhausted Collier struggled to keep up. “I would be overthinking things and then I couldn’t remember plays,” Collier says. “And I had never had problems remembering plays before. But I could not for the life of me remember plays for the first three months. And I couldn’t understand why. I was like, what is wrong with me?” She earned a starting job and then lost it, all while dealing with a crisis of confidence as she struggled through practices in which she’d forget plays, miss layups and leave feeling lost" [/QUOTE]
