“He is on you 24/7, he is on you more than everybody else because you are responsible for everybody else so you have to be able to embrace that, come out and work, Dangerfield said. “That is all he wants to see is that you are working at it.”
And you always get a clear, straight answer out of Lou: “I don’t know exactly what that pressure is,” Samuelson said. “Coach has said it many times that whenever anything goes wrong with the offense, that falls on her and she is willing to take that responsibility. She is still super young, she is only a sophomore trying to figure out how to do that. We can’t get mad at her for having an off game every once in a while, but she is producing and doing things offensively and defensively. I have no doubt she will get right back into it.”
All the greats (the few) embrace it and ultimately thrive on it. Don't care how big or small Rushmore is, Sue Bird is on it.
