[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-womens-basketball-christyn-williams-column-20201002-yvwewr7a6bevzkqvnim3tnrhaa-story.html[/URL] “I was just in a really bad place,” Williams said. “I have high expectations for myself. I did not meet those expectations last year. My confidence was at an all-time low. I had to grow up. Things weren’t going my way so I kind of gave up on myself instead of being mature about it and fighting through it. That’s one way I changed my mentality. I made a promise to myself that I will never give up and I’ll fight through the ups and downs.” “She seems to be a lot more aggressive,” coach Geno Auriemma said. “She seems to be a lot more assertive. Her conditioning is better. Once you get to be a junior, now you’re relied on. You can’t shoot 40 percent. You’ve got to make plays for other people, and yourself. You’ve got to be able to defend really, really well at your position. The consistency you need every day, every day, every day — that’s what comes with the territory. You have the luxury as a freshman, maybe, that you don’t have to be like that. Or as a sophomore maybe you can do some of those things. You’re at a point now when you’re a junior at Connecticut, where there is no ‘My bad, we’ll get it next time.’ It will grow as time goes on, but there is a different approach that I see in her, for sure.” Does not hurt that the guard competition is so high this year.
