Granting this, the incontestable truth is that America has been built up by optimists, not by pessimists, but by men possessing courage, confidence in the nation's destiny, by men willing to adventure to shoulder risks terrifying to the timid.

She's not getting as open of a look as she did last year. In the past she relied a lot on her scoring. Her scoring is down a little bit (after averaging 12.9 points last season), but she has added so much to our team. She has certainly become a complete player.

She's more of a team member now than she maybe has been. In the past, she would take her own car, and not go on the bus. I don't think she would do that now. I think she realized the one advantage we might have over the Americans is the fact we are very much a team, and we have lots of fun.
