Players Talk Motivation/Workouts

“My Motivation Series”

Some of the best Streaks players ever talk about how they went from being a good player to a great player. They focus on two things:

·      What was your motivation to work so hard?

·      What was your workout program?

#1- Shanell Lightfoot (Jackson)

Shanell is GHS all-time best three point percentage shooter at .431. In 2001, she had a prolific run thru the IHSA state series, helping us finish 4^th in State. She was a prolific shooter in the off-season, and in evenings after our practices.

#2- Jaque Gohlinghorst (Howard)

Jaque was three year starter on teams that finished Elite 8, 2^nd place, and 4^th place at State. She still holds GHS record for career assists.

#3- Bonny Apsey

Bonny was a 6’1” All-State post player for the Streaks. She led the 1995 Streaks to the Sweet 16. It was the Streaks first ‘State Appearance”. Nobody may have had more impact on the Streaks program than Bonny Apsey. Her workout program in-season after practices set the entire tone for a culture of “going beyond,” for all of her teammates.

#6- Andie Leibach (Allison)

No one has “got it” more than Andie “got it” as a high school basketball player. She was totally into being a team player. And a huge part of being a “team player”, is understanding commitment and work ethic. Andie was not outworked by anyone.
