When I started finishing games and coming off the field shaking hands, it was a beautiful thing. I mean, you start seeing that you're an important part of the team.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's nice to put your hand up and do the big things the team requires of you.
I feel like in order for our team to have the upper hand, I have to play extremely well, and I have to bring the rest of the team with me. That's how I feel approaching every game.
I am so happy when I feel emotion about the way my team plays.
What I liked was to set the tone - set the pace for the team. I know when we're starting the game, I can get on and steal a base, then a guy bring me in. Then we're in the lead and in a good position to win. That was the most exciting thing - to help the team.
The crowd gives us so much energy and we are able to really feed off of it. Hitting those shots and having the crowd go crazy helps boost our confidence. We love our fans.
And I remember how proud I was to put on my training jersey and go out on the field. Making it back to that environment was for me my greatest moment, because somebody had told me I couldn't do it and I never gave up on myself, the game and my teammates.
I basically try to visualize the team doing good things on the court the night before the game. I get shots up. There's not actually a pregame ritual that I do. I'm still trying to figure that out. I say a prayer. I go out with confidence.
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
This game is crazy. You're up and down, up and down. When you feel good, you want to be there every time for the team.
I give everything I have every time I take the ball. With that, I also know that there will always be a risk of injury when playing this game that I love.
