"What was the hardest adjustment going from college to the WNBA? Was it hard for you to make the jump?"
John
Minneapolis, MN

Hi, John. The hardest adjustment that I had to make coming from college to the WNBA was the physical play. The WNBA has the best women players in the world and they are extremely tough. The players at this level are very physical, particularly near the basket. I feel that I'm still having to adjust to that a bit. Was it hard to make the jump to the pros? Yes and no. Yes, at first it was difficult because I was not use to being pushed around so much during games. But I realized that I had to make that adjustment and I was given the time to make it by playing a lot as a rookie. I think that I've now learned to handle the physical style of play. Thanks for writing and have a blessed day.
