So it can be that one that can, can like push you and challenge you, but also like embrace you and hug you and help you understand all the things that they go along with, with the ups and downs and the long season that we have this sprint marathon of a season. Um, You know, and can knock down a shot, can spread the floor, can do all the things that we need to do.
You know, Sidney Colson, a backup point guard, was really important for us. Again, a winner. A winner at every level.
And vibes. And different kind of leadership. Like, not afraid to speak her mind. Like, has been through the rigor and the battles. Has played, has not played. Has been in rotation, has not been in rotation. Was called upon when Chelsea Gray goes down with injury in the finals and ultimately helps them win the series.
after not having played a lot throughout the course of the season, so has played various roles and understands how important it is to stay ready, is one of those players who can nip things in the bud in the locker room without it having to get to us as coaches. Builds our depth on the perimeter, allows us a little bit more versatility with Kaitlin and Kelsey and what we do with them.
Really important to get somebody of her caliber, certainly for us. Sophie Cunningham. Toughness, right? Winner, ability to play multiple positions, plays with tough, has played with tough competitors. I mean, was essentially mentored by the all-time greatest in Diana Taurasi, right? So now she can be that mentor.
She can be that player who comes in and brings us that toughness and that swag, yet keeps our versatility, can knock down shots, which shot making is so important. you know, for us and take some pressure off of our big three because all of these other guys can do their own thing, right? But when they fit with what we have, I think it makes us really, really dangerous.
Plus all of those players are going to help us on the defensive end of the floor, which has been our greatest deficiency.
And so I think that having that, having veteran players who understand what it is to be a part of this organization, who are not afraid of all of the things that come with being a part of the Indiana Fever, and who ultimately at the end of the day are great teammates, great people, and just want to win.
That's a good goal.
I think they were bragging on the types of texts they all got. I'm sure they were. You know, I think my initial reaction is, look, like, Momentum-changing technicals, we can't have. The unnecessary ones, we can't have. Having conversations about what it means to show your fire. You don't want to take any of that away because that's what makes her special.
But to channel some of that in a way that may not hinder our team. The margin for error in this league to win a championship is so small. You know, and if one technical in a game changes the momentum and causes you to lose it, that's big. So when we get them, the timeliness of them, the ones that happen, you know, in a heat of the moment, competitive, whatever. OK, like, yeah, we live with those.
It's the nagging ones, right? Like getting on the official and continuing to nag and nag and nag. Like, that's my job. That's my job. So I think for me, it's helping her navigate the when to do it and when not to, you know, helping her maintain, you know, a constructive channel for a lot of that competitive spirit.
And, you know, I think it's important for Caitlin to utilize Tameka Catchings because catch was the same way. Like, you know, oftentimes our greatest strength can sometimes be our greatest weakness, right? That fiery competitive, like is the reason that you're, you're so successful, but sometimes it can, it can hurt depending upon the timing of it.
And so I think catch is a great resource for that too. Um, you know, I think just being honest with her about like, um, certain times like, yo, it's time to kind of chill or, or, Hey, yeah, yeah, go ahead. Or I'll get this one.
right like i get this one um you know having those conversations i you don't want to stifle the things that make her great um but you also have to take into consideration all of the things that go into the ultimate opportunities for success for your team
Yeah. I asked her if it was Photoshopped.
Yeah, I mean, certainly getting stronger was one. You know, the level of physicality in the W is totally different. You know, that's the way that teams have to try to keep her off balance. Keeping a low center of gravity.
You know, there are times where she plays a little bit upright, making sure core strength and her ability to move with time under tension and stay in a low center of gravity is important. You know, lateral movement, like one of the challenges that we're coming to her with right away is on the defensive end of the floor. Now, you know, use your size, use your length.
You've got to make, that's got to be a priority, right? It's got to be a priority to play both ends because we don't have to go from, you know, 11 or 12 to one or two, but we got to get to middle of the pack.
You know, I think from just a straight basketball perspective, making sure that we help her diversify, you know, her finishing ability, diversify in the way that it's not predictable, to be able to be equal in terms of production and facilitation going right and left, to be able to have different types of finishing looks, whether it's
