Sarah's mic-ed up

[msf22b]

You know what? We are gonna be really really good.

Really, really, really.

After last season, during an interview, Sarah was asked what she needed to work on for this coming season. Her answer was, “Leadership.” Clearly, with Paige and Kaitlyn moving on to the W, Geno had already made it clear to Sarah that in addition to her remarkable basketball skill set, he expected her to use her voice as a leader on the team going forward.

So far, so good…….

I am pretty confident her mom is on the same page with Geno on this one.

Funny, interesting? She called everyone by their first name...except Heckel. (just an observation)

She said Kayleigh at the beginning and Heckel later. I think that just shows the kind of banter that takes place with players. Means nothing and surely it was accepted by Kayleigh as just a "way to go". From the brief glimpses we've been fed this team looks to be building a close, supportive relationship that will be an indispensable bond in making this a very successful season.

 

[WiseWillie]

Really, really, really.

Has Geno entered the Boneyard?

 

[Crossover]

It was Blanca.

I sure hope not. Sarah and Blanca were on the same time.

 

[Crossover]

Loved the video. When Azzis micd up came out I was hoping Sarah would do one. Quick thoughts: I do think she's 6'2 but... Blanca looks the same height and Carol looks a little taller. Lol. I feel like Jana has been a bit missing this summer. Hope she's healthy and doing well.

Speaking of people who have been a bit missing this summer, it was good to see Ice Brady on the court. I hope that she, too, is healthy and doing well.

In Azzi’s mic’s up vid she called her Kayleigh. But Sarah calls her Heckel. This all seems very amusing.

Have they been teasing Sarah about being short for long?

Using last names during practice is what I remember as the friendly kind of teasing - usually in attempts in the same tone to imitate the coach - that players all will say during their drills and practice sessions. It's all in fun and it's all good.

I noticed that she certainly didn't call Kelis by her self appointed nickname 'Big Fish'. In fairness to Fisher though, Sarah didn't call her 'Gup Gup' either!

 

[Geew1992]

It was Blanca.

It was Gandy

 

[JoePgh]

Did I catch a glimpse of Allie wearing a face mask? Did she injure her nose, perhaps?

 

[Basingstoke]

I loved Kayleigh's fake pass off on her drive.

 

[cgshuskie]

Blanca is as fast as imagined! Also, her mid range shooting is and will be outstanding. People think that shooting
is a problem for her but it really isn't. Her stardom is implicit.... Go Blanca

Just an observation, not a criticism, at this point of her career, Sarah is more of a lead by example type leader and what a great lead to follow.

I'm sure it's accepted, just made me wonder why? It's not shorter. There's no one else named Kayleigh. Just hmmmm?

Precautionary, offseason nose surgery.

 

[Blond D.]

Ok, I need to know who has the nickname "MOM NAILS"

Just an observation, not a criticism, at this point of her career, Sarah is more of a lead by example type leader and what a great lead to follow.

I am already seeing an enormous transformation in Sarah. Last year during postgame pressers, Geno practically begged her to speak more than a 1-2 word answer to questions. During games, in player huddles, she basically deferred to Paige, Kaitlyn & KK.

In this one short practice video, Sarah had more to say than I heard from her during the entire season last year. Obviously, Azzi, KK, Caroline and others will all shoulder some of the leadership responsibilities this coming season. But I also believe that Sarah will lead by her example as well as her voice.

Lots of fun, lots of good looks

I pity the teams who have to play them!
