What does that look like for you? Is that doing less or doing, being strategic about the reps you get or taking days off?

Yeah.

I think in practice just being strategic with my reps. Um, obviously we wanna continue to build that chemistry, so for me, just making sure, um, I'm doing exactly, like if we're doing certain drills, make sure I'm in there, especially if it's focused on new action and stuff like that.

Um, but honestly, I think everyone's been doing a great job managing, um, my minutes and managing my performance in practice and stuff like that, but yeah, everything's, everything's great.

I think we're on a great path.

Like, what did you think of, you know, Mo stepping in, Myisha? And like, how did you still try to be that leader?

Yeah.

I think just by communication, but I think Mo and Maya, I mean, they handled it.

What does she mean to this team?

Yeah, I mean, Kelsey, I feel like I've said it before, I mean, Kelsey sticking through the Fever, uh, during the tough times, uh, during the good times, I mean, that's just who she is.

And so to be able to play with her, I mean, it's always just a blessing.

I think Kelsey's one of the hardest guards in the league to have to guard, and she's on my squad, so I'm super excited about that.

[laughs]

How often do you think about where you come from and where you're headed? I mean, you're-

Yeah, I mean, I think about it a lot.

Uh, Boston Arena, I mean, my dad really just drew that outside our driveway, and so to see where it all started to now just being on the Indiana Fever, playing, being a professional athlete, um, starting my fourth year, I feel like time has just, has just flown by, and it's kind of crazy to think about it, but I never take it for granted.

How are you able to see that sitting on the bench in that game?

Um, yeah, I think the pace changed a little bit, but at the same time, honestly, I think we played pretty fast, and that's how we wanna play.

Most of our possessions were in transition, um, which is great.

And I think defensively, once again, like, everyone's upping the ball.

Um, and so it's pretty great, yeah.

[laughs]

Um, I mean, for me, I think it's just continue to do what I do, do best, be consistent, continue to work on my game, improve that in all different aspects, but also be able to communicate.

I think being able to play in the system one year already, just being able to help everyone else adjust to that is my job.

country is a

grind.

I was that girl though that like I sweat a lot, but I hate sweating.

Okay.

So like when I was younger, I'd be like, I don't really want to do all that because it's hot.

It's hot outside.

But my dad definitely put the basketball in our hands.
