I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing.
Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.
You have to be able to psychologically help your players, support-wise, be in touch with them, so I think managing people is very important.
I replaced three joints in my hips and one in my knee. I'm hoping that other knee doesn't have to be done. It's one of the toughest things to overcome.

When you gotta go through something tough, I've always been a guy that just wants to get it out of the way.
There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.

For me, honestly, it's not about individual accomplishments, individual award. It's about what I've got to do and how I can contribute to the team.
Being gay has nothing to do with the three gold medals or the three MVPs or the four championships I've won. I'm still the same person. I'm Sheryl.
Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that.
I was very bitter, frustrated, hurt, angry - I went through all types of emotions when I first was out of the WNBA.
