If I felt I was on with my screw, I would give her a nod, and she would know what I was doing. We communicated nonverbally. We both know how to talk to each other and pump each other up.

We have to drill from the beginning how important it is to work hard because the season comes up really fast. That's one of the biggest regrets I've faced in basketball and softball, not coming out strong in the beginning. You take it too lightly, and you look back on it and wish you would have worked harder.

If we both went to the same school, we would know what was going on that day. At practice, we have a lot to talk about because our days are different.
