I grew up watching my mom play for her club team and I have just always been around basketball. When she would practice, I would always be shooting and watching her.

Joyce: she did very well and then had a great season during her freshman year at South Carolina.

It was always my dream school, and I wanted to be coached by Coach Geno Auriemma and his staff. I knew they would set me up to go to the WNBA and become a pro.

I really go out there and play. I try not to focus too much on a certain type of stat: I just play basketball and have fun.

It was an amazing feeling. It was so much fun having played with my teammates and for the seniors it meant a lot so I am very proud.

Thank you for the compliment…but I am not going to let that get to me. I want to stay level and focus on what is in front of me.

He is going to set his players up for success. He has very high expectations for us and pushes us hard to be the best that we can be.

I would say me: it’s me, it’s me.

Representing my country is a great honor. I love to do it and am thankful for it. My medals are on a wall in my house, so I get to look at them often.

My goals are to get better every game and get closer to my teammates. I want us to be confident in ourselves and hopefully win gold.
