A classic sports cliche.
For Nikki, that meant bringing it on the court, scoring, passing, facilitating.
But also the dozen little things she did off the court, her routine.
And she carried that into her pro career, even as the winds stopped following her.
Routine can be one of the most annoying parts of being an athlete.
Like, it's tedious.
On the bus, off the bus, packing, unpacking, tape your ankles, do your warm-up, day in and day out.
And especially if you're losing, I wonder if a routine can sometimes feel like some small, hopeless attempt to change your luck or hold on as things unravel.
But actually, Nikki insists that routine is the key to this do-your-job mindset.
A consistent routine can also protect you, give you a foundation to go back to as you ride the emotional roller coaster of a season full of wins or losses.
As Nikki's pro career went on, there were a lot of those ups and downs and mixed emotions, things that would put a strain on any team.
Have you ever, I don't think you've ever done this, I can tell, but have you ever seen teammates who have like started to play the blame game or get grumpy or kind of hit a wall when things aren't going well?
professionalism, another sports cliche.
But I want to linger on that word for a bit, because if we think professional athlete, we may imagine someone who is fiercely competitive, driven to win, someone who might get eaten up by a big loss.
But Nikki's version of professionalism is not that.
These days, Nikki is a college coach, and she talks about professionalism with her college players, actually.
And her version of professionalism is that.
It's do your job.
The small things matter as much as the big things.
Be disciplined.
