You have to be positive, and I'm not just talking about athletics, this also applies to life.
I've accomplished everything a person can accomplish on a basketball court, but I never thought about the future when I was younger. I never made plans for the next stage in my life.
No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.
Dream big work hard.
I've always been a firm believer in mind over matter. If you don't believe you can achieve, your body will start to believe this and you'll be stuck.
There was the misconception out there that I retired after the 2008 season, but that was never the case. I wasn't done with basketball yet, and I'm still not done.
I always believe someone somewhere is working harder than me and that motivates me to work harder, give 100%.
As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.
I never really officially retired from the WNBA, I just left the doors open.
There are so many women out there relying on me to represent them.
Every level that I have ever competed on, I have risen to the top.
