She's just an awesome team player. She's mentally tough and such a competitor. She hates losing, and there's an energy about her that gets everyone behind her fired up.
I got pretty close. Ultimately, I thought about it more as an athlete than as a coach. Not being a Division I coach, Olympic opportunities are limited. I didn't think it would ever happen.
Who knows what will happen? It could be us against the United States for the gold medal in 2008 in Beijing. How wonderful would that be?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.
