She’s Competitive On The Court & Nice Off It

Sophie has two sides to her, the competitive side, when she’s playing basketball, and her kind side when she’s not. She talked about these two sides with Slam Online. “I think that people see me and it’s so funny that any time I get a new teammate that maybe, like, they’re competitive, we kind of go at it. They’re like, Oh, you’re actually like, really nice and fun to be around. I’m like, duh. Why can’t I be competitive on the court, and why can’t we all hang out after? I want to change that narrative for females that it’s OK to compete, it’s OK to play physical. It’s ok to go out there, work hard and sweat and then still be a nice human and a different person off the court, too.”

She Ignores The Haters

Sophie’s gotten a lot of hate in her career, but she’s learned to ignore it. “I don’t listen to all that noise,” she says to Slam Online. “I got that stuff in college, too. We beat South Carolina multiple years in a row and all of a sudden I’m the dirty player and it’s like, Nah, I’m just out working. I’m working y’all’s ass, you know what I mean?”
