Louisville, Ky. - Every week UofLsports.com will be catching up with the women's basketball team to find out what they are doing during the summer. The Cardinals are working hard over the summer as they prepare to enter the BIG EAST Conference this year.
What is your favorite thing about summer vacation?
Playing outside with Carsynn and laying out in the sun getting a tan. I also love to swim!
What was the first thing that you did when school was out?
I got to stay home and be a mommy for about a month because I had no classes. I actually became somewhat domesticated like fixing breakfast and lunch! It was great!
Are you playing basketball this summer?
Of course! I am getting a lot of shots off to improve consistency and we are playing pick up games in open gym.
What does your summer workout consist of?
I lift weights everyday with Patrika at 9:30 a.m. And I am also going into the gym getting a lot of shots off. Working on my shot coming off screens, off the dribble, and off the pass are the main things I am working on.
Are you going on vacation?
I am going to visit my granny in Florida towards the end of the summer, but if that doesn't work out the I will probably hang out in L.A.....the Louisville Area.
Are you working a summer job?
I want to but finding one is hard for the few months I can work. But so far I have just been working camps.
What is your favorite summer activity?
I love swimming and laying out. I'm proud of my tan at the end of the summer! I also just enjoy any outside activity, and luckily so does Carsynn so that's where we spend the majority of our time.
Are you taking any classes this summer?
I'm taking one class and that is Business Strategy and Policy.
What are your basketball goals for the summer and what do you hope to improve on for next season?
I hope to gain a better consistency with my shot this summer. I also want to develop more strength so I don't get pushed around as much. My main goals are to hit 10,000 3's and to bench press my weight.
If you could do anything this summer, what would you do?
I would go to Florida with Carsynn. Also, I plan to get a ravishing suntan!
