Basketball Is In My DNA

Life is simple eat, sleep, play basketball

Basketball I'm the queen of this court. Think you're better than me? That's cute. All I need is a ball and a hoop and I'll be set for life. If at first you don't succeed, It's because of me. I'm the girl your coach warned you about. Basketball is my favorite season

Losing focus all day in school because you have a game that night

When you try to shoot something in the trash can and miss and everyone says I thought you played basketball

The only one who can tell you 'you can't' is you. and you don't have to listen

It is your response to winning and losing that makes you a winner or a loser

You don’t have to live anyone else’s story. Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don’t. It doesn't matter where you come from, what you have or what you don’t have... what you lack, or what you have too much of. All you need to have is faith in god, an undying passion for what you do or what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and a will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to. Make sure you live in the moment and work your butt off every single day. And I hope I inspire people all around the world to just be themselves, be humble, and be grateful for all the blessings in your life.

Praise be to the lord my rock who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle

Yeah i play like a girl some things are better that way

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand If you can get them all together you have a fist that's how I want you to play

Being so pumped for a game that you cant fall asleep

I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed.

And give all the glory to god

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation

Everything negative - pressure challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise

Life is a lot like basketball. You can shoot for the stars, pass off your dream to live someone else's, dribble in the same spot or you could just sit the bench and do nothing

I'm hungrier than other guys out there. Every rebound is a personal challenge

They call me a crazy basketball mom like it's a bad thing

If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life

I think someone should explain to the child that it is ok to make mistakes. That is how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.

You can't control the minutes you play, but you can control how you play the minutes you get

Life is always better when I'm playing basketball

The ultimate basketball drills resource. Shooting drills. Dribbling drills. Passing drills. Footwork drills

Some people believe you win with your five best players, but I found out that you win with the five who fit together best

Explode past defenders! Slow step setup 1. Start with a slow hesitation and lift your leg up. Put all your weight on the leg that's on the ground. 2. Lean forward and take a nice quick lunging step with that first step 3. Explode to the basket.

I tell kids to pursue their basketball dreams, but I tell them to not let that be their only dream

If you're not talking, you're not playing defense

It's difficult to explain to someone who has never competed but a moment arrives in the life of a serious athlete when the game begins to live in you. It so occupies your mind and body that you almost become it. You gain a sense of such command over your own arms and legs that it can almost feel like flying, and you begin to crave that sensation daily. Everything else is just an interruption until you can return to it. That was me. I played, quite literally, in my sleep

There's winning and there's losing and in life both will happen. What is never acceptable to me is quitting

Forget about it princess cause not even cinderella is getting to this ball
