| Shanell at Redbird Arena 2001 |
Shanell (Jackson) Lightfoot was a key player on the 2001 Streaks, who finished 4th in the State. In 2011 I asked her what advice she would give players for the off-season. Her response is something every player should read, reread, and tape up in their room!!
1, Don't ever think that you are guaranteed a spot.
2. Remain humble about the work your doing on your own because your improvements will be noticed by others.
3. Know that the off-season is the time to get better and that you may not be comfortable shooting 3s or pulling up for a jump shot at the beginning of the spring/summer, but if you work hard on a few things consistently, they will become habit and your hard work will pay off.
4. If it were easy, everyone would do it. So on those days when you're not really in the mood to go workout on your own, remember how it felt to lose in that last game of the season. Trust me, it will pay off.
