Being in the moment- Abby Wambach

I feel like I have to make sure I don't regret a moment. I want to smell what the stadium smells like. I want to breathe in all of this experience, because who knows if I'm going to get another shot in four years? Who knows if I will be healthy? Who knows, who knows?

Courtney Vandersloot

One of the best point guards in the 2011 NCAA finals and here is why:
1. Freezes defenders
2. Ability to score
3. Finds the open player
4. Changes her speed
5. Reads her defense and the help defender
6. Uses ball fakes effectively
7. Plays emotionless
8. Communicates effectively
9. Surveys the floor even before she gets the ball
10. Gets the outlet on the move
"Courtney Vandersloot is really good," McGraw said. "I saw her last year in the NCAA Tournament against Texas A&M, and she just engineered the game. She's a great point guard who finds people. Her team moves well without the ball because they know they're going to get the ball when they get open. She really has great command of the team.''

How bad do you want it?


"There is something inside of him that allowed him to compete when he shouldn't have. that was the game where a lot of guys would have bailed on him. He was able to rise above how he felt and do what he had to do, and he did it." Thoughts on Jordan's performance in Game 5 of the 1997 Finals against the Jazz.
