Even though she has another year of college eligibility, Angel recently revealed she would be entering the WNBA draft. “I want to start at the bottom again,” she says. “I want to be a rookie again and build myself back up; I want to be knocked down and learn and grow at the next level,” she told Vogue. “I’ll be working with grown women,” she says. “I’ll be working with women that have kids, women that have a family to feed. I’m going to have to work my butt off every single day and grind. And who wouldn’t want that? I don’t want anything in my life to be easy.”

In an interview with Oprah Daily, Sheryl Swoopes talked about the best advice she’s received. “The best thing that my mom said to me growing up was, ‘Stop trying to be like somebody else and just be you.’ And I was always like, ‘I’m not trying to be someone else.’ But I was. I would look around and think, ‘My friends have so much more money, they live in a bigger house, they have better clothes.’ It took me until my adulthood to really, truly, finally grasp that I was doing that.”

3. Diana Taurasi

In a 2018 interview with Women Fitness, Diana Taurasi talked about her vegan diet. “I think it is something I have really benefitted from,” she says. “Just staying away from foods that cause a lot of inflammation, fats and sugars that everyone knows are obviously a little counterproductive if you eat large amounts of them. So, I have stayed more on a plant-based diet and it has really benefitted me, but everyone has a different take on food and what they need.”

4. Maya Moore

Maya Moore is known for giving back to others. In an interview with Sports Illustrated Kids, she talked about wanting to be a role model for others. “I think a good team leader, first and foremost, is someone who leads by example. Someone who walks the walk and is unselfish, willing to serve and help give as much as they can to help their group succeed. I think a good team leader is also a good teammate and doesn’t expect everyone to only think about them. They realize that they are part of a team and that they have a leadership role.”

5. Breanna Stewart

Breanna Stewart shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview on Redbull.com. "I need to make sure that my body is ready and that means getting in the weight room.

6. Candace Parker

In an interview with ESPN, Candace Parker talked about her mindset and journey to winning games. “I look at guys like [the NBA’s Nikola] Jovic and guys that are slower that get to their spots.

Tina Charles opened up about her attitude on the court in an interview with The Daily Beast. “I’m all about winning,” she says. “Everybody has a role on the team. Some carry a heavier load. But I’m willing to do that night in and night out. I’m really thankful.”

Nneka Ogwumike shared some of her diet and exercise secrets in an interview with ESPN. She says that she learned that she had to reduce the amount of exercise she does. “I used to think that you had to do everything to really get the benefits. But everyone's body is different. I learned that my body doesn't need so much. It reacts very quickly to whatever I eat or whatever training I do, so I try to really limit all the extra stuff and keep it simple.”

12. Seimone Augustus

In an interview with The Athletic, Seimone Augustus talked about her approach to exercise. “Obviously as we get older, we start to focus more just trying to make sure we’re fueling our body in the right way and making sure we’re keeping ourselves prepared to come on the court and perform at our highest. But it’s always a struggle. I’m not going to lie, people. It is a struggle to eat healthy. But it’s fun to kind of challenge yourself in different ways as well.”

13. Angel McCoughtry

Angel McCoughtry talked about why she spoke out against Kelly Loeffler’s comments to the Black Lives Matter movement and why she joined the Say Her Name Campaign to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It was really important to me, not just for Louisville -- of course that hit home a little bit. But just in general, we were just tired of seeing so much happen, one after the next after the next. We get to see it on video. But it was just important to try to find some type of initiative while playing basketball that we could kind of advocate for. That's how we were able to do the Say Her Name campaign, and it has become a big success. So I've been really proud of what's come out of it.”

14. Liz Cambage

In an interview with Women’s Health, Liz Cambage talked about her approach to wellness, and revealed the best advice she received. “The best advice I've ever received is, that you have to live your life, not someone else's.

15. Jewell Loyd

Jewell Loyd took Women’s Health through her daily routine. She says that staying hydrated is important to her. “Immediately, I like to drink my water. I’m trying to get close to a gallon a day, so I start with half that amount and then refill my bottle for the rest of the day. Luckily one of the features on my new Samsung Galaxy Watch5 is a water tracking feature, so I can set goals for daily water intake and it reminds me to hit those each day.”

16. Chelsea Gray

Maddie Meyer/Getty Images

Chelsea Gray notably suffered an injury in college. She tells The Sports Section that this inspired her to not only take better care of herself, but also to learn more about health. “The first step was changing my diet. I got a little bit leaner and smarter about the weight that I put on and carry with my knees and legs. It was the first time I really paid attention to my diet to get the most out of my body. Our body is how we make our money — it’s what we do. And so to be able to, for lack of a better term, treat it like a temple and make sure I know what’s going on inside is important.”

17. Allie Quicgley

Allie Quigley talked about her process for staying in shape in an interview with High Post Hoops. “Physically just taking care of your body, eating right, getting good rest, doing your exercises in the weight room to keep yourself actually on the court.

I feel like if I don’t use my platform, and don’t use my voice, then I’m doing a [disservice] to a lot of people out here in the world.”

19. Kelsey Plum

Kelsey Plum is all about promoting change. In 2017, Plum talked to The Bleacher Report about the sexism she faces as a basketball player. “I tell people, I don't play women's basketball, I play basketball. Putting the ‘women's’ next to it shouldn't be an asterisk, like it's "less than." I have been given a little bit of a spotlight, and I hope to show that we can keep moving forward in convincing people that women are just as capable as men.”

20. Kia Nurse

Kia Nurse opened up about her offseason activities in an interview with BarDown. “Some days, it hits more than others. Right now, this is my offseason, this week that I have now not doing anything physical will be the rest that I get. [laughs] Then, getting ramped up and ready to go again for the WNBA season will be all of the next preparation.”

All eyes are on the WNBA this season, as rookies like Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink, Angel Reese and Jacy Sheldon rack up points after years of hard work to get there.

I've been getting a lot of support from this and from my family and friends. My family knows that this transition hasn't been the easiest so they're always there for me. I'm an introvert, I'm a homebody, so they know a little I love you text is all I need to keep pushing.”

2. Julie Vanloo

Julie Vanloo talked about being drafted by the Washington Mystics with The Next. “I have been having a lot of moments where I just try and sit down and take it all in,” she said. “… I always wanted to play with so many players on this team that I said, ‘How would it be to play with this and this player?’ And it’s happening. So … I’m just smiling all the time. I’m just really liking it. I’m just trying to be the best version of myself, be a good teammate and go with the flow. … I’m really in my prime time right now, and I know I can give something to this team.”

3. Alissa Pili

Alissa Pili plays for the Minnesota Lynx. She opened up about wanting to represent her Polynesian culture with The Next. “I take a lot of pride in it, especially because you don’t see a lot of Polynesian women’s basketball players or basketball players in general. It’s something I do take a lot of pride in. Ever since I’ve been here at Utah, I’ve been seeing a lot more just Polynesian people coming out to the games and little Polynesian girls coming up to me after the game and it makes me so happy to know that I’m having an impact on them.”

4. Angel Reese

Angel Reese plays for the Chicago Sky. She tells SportsNet that while she’s glad the WNBA is getting more popular because of players like Caitlin Clark, she’d like other players to receive the same attention. "People are talking about women's basketball that you never would think would be talking about women's basketball. People are coming to games. We got celebrities coming to games. Sold out arenas. The reason why we're watching women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. I want y'all to realize that."

5. Cameron Brink

Cameron Brink plays for the LA Sparks. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, she called for the media to be kinder and to not expect perfection from rookies. "We were drafted to high-drafting teams coming off losing seasons, which is fine. It's a learning process. But people expect us to be perfect, and it's freaking exhausting. I feel like we learn how to tune it out, but still, it's unrealistic, and it kind of just shows that people don't know basketball."

6. Kate Martin

Kate Martin opened up about how she’s approaching her future with the Las Vegas Aces to KGET. “I knew it was going to be really hard to make this team, so I just came in with an open mindset,” Martin said. “I wanted to be a sponge and learn as much as possible, and after a few days, I started to gain more confidence. I thought, ‘Maybe I could make this team,’ but I never got my hopes up too high because you never know what’s going to happen in this league.”

These women can play, and learning from them, and being able to learn their system has been awesome so far.”

I get my exercise in on the court and then in the weight room, where I’ll do whatever our coach suggests to make sure my leg and upper body workouts stay balanced. I like working with resistance bands to tighten my glutes. I don’t like to sweat or use a lot of weight, so I go for bodyweight workouts like lunges, squats, and clamshells. When I add a band, I feel the burn instantly.”

3. Jackie Young

4. Chelsea Gray

Chelsea Gray won the 2022 WNBA Championship with the Las Vegas Aces. She talked about the playoff season that year to Yahoo Sports. “It’s so much highs and lows throughout a game,” Gray said. “Being that even-keel, keeping my composure, it’s always how I’ve been, how I operate, even outside of basketball. It keeps me grounded throughout a game [and] all the noise. I kind of have this ability to quiet it out a little bit. And that’s what makes it fun.”

7. Kiah Stokes

2022 WNBA Champion, Kiah Stokes talked about how her team, and her coach, Becky Hammon prepared for the game to The Gazette. “We watch film. We watched the whole (New York) game. She (Hammon) doesn’t have to say much because we all know (what happened). A lot of the stuff we watch on film is a reminder of yes, we are good but if we don’t come to play, any team’s going to whip you.”

8. Sydney Colson

Ethan Miller/Getty Images

Las Vegas Aces member and 2022 Champion, Sydney Colson, uses her voice to support causes that are important to her. She wrote a personal essay for Yahoo Sports on this topic. “I am a Black, gay woman from Houston, Texas, (Houstonians prefer to be seen as our own state because Texas can be so embarrassing) so I know far too well the issues that are present here. We had to take time as a PEC to contemplate whether our fellow athletes would be safe here, whether their voices would be heard and whether we should play in a place that could be so hostile to so many of our athletes’ identities and deeply held beliefs. But the scary truth is there are many states working tirelessly to attack the rights of their citizens. We knew wherever we played, our PEC felt that this is the right time to be vocal about issues that affect us and the people who live where we will be playing. We understood that with our platform, with our stage, we could have an outsized effect for the very people these laws were meant to marginalize even further. Just by showing up, by using our voices to ally with those who are voiceless, we could have a profound effect. Professional athletes wield enormous power when microphones and cameras are put in our faces, and we are prepared to use our platforms to effect change.”

9. Kierstan Bell

Ethan Miller/Getty Images

In her first year in the WNBA, Kierstan Bell won the 2022 season with the Las Vegas Aces. She talked about how she approached her season with The Naples Daily News. "When you're a rookie, you're coming from a school where you play a lot, and then you come and you're sitting down on a bench, you know, it's different. But that's just the opportunity to learn for the next year when you come in to try to attack it way different than you did, and wanting to earn a spot in the game."

10. Sue Bird

She shared her typical diet with Delish. “My typical [in-season] day looks pretty similar to my [off-season] days.

11. Candace Parker

Allen Berezovsky/FilmMagic

Candace Parker is one of the greatest women’s basketball players of all time, winning two championships. She shared her training secrets with Boardroom.tv. “I really dedicate a lot of time and energy to making sure that in the offseason — regardless of if I’m going back and forth to Atlanta for the NCAA Tournament — that I’m really taking care of my body and making sure I’m getting my lift in. Whether it’s cardio, pilates, or yoga, I think it’s not only setting the stage to be better athletically in my sport now in Year 16 but it’s going to be something that is a part of my daily routine even afterward. It kind of sets the tone in showing your kids how to live a healthy lifestyle and how important that is both mentally and physically to continue to incorporate fitness into your life.”

Lexie Brown won the 2021 Championship with the Chicago Sky. She tells WNBA.com that she makes sure to always work hard. “That’s the biggest thing for me; I haven’t really had so many opportunities to showcase the hard work I put in, but the hard work is still being put in, and that’s something that I really value about myself. I always enjoy hearing from previous coaches, they can say a lot of things about me, good, bad or indifferent, but the one constant thing is I’ve worked really, really, really hard, and that’s something I’m proud of.”

Is my back always going to hurt? Are my hips always going to hurt?’ Definitely a lot of mental ups and downs. I pushed through and then I think I am playing some of the best basketball actually since I have been in the league so I am actually proud of myself.”

Georgia Amoore is a college basketball player. She was known for her time on the Virginia Tech team. Amoore recently enjoyed a trip to Greece. She shared some highlights from her vacation on Instagram. In them, she posed by the beach. She captioned the post, “A black cat jumping at me is like really good luck right?” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Georgia Amoore stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Plays Basketball

Basketball is the main way Amoore stays in shape. FitnessAdvisory.org states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Basketball requires you to jump while playing, as well as running back and forth multiple times. In a basketball game, you rely on your body positioning and the ability to maintain that position when an opponent is pushing against you. This is why playing basketball can strengthen all parts of your body, especially your core muscles, neck, lower back, and arms.”

2. She Manages Homesickness

Amoore opened up about her career in an interview with the Sons of Saturdays Podcast. She talked about how she handles being homesick in it. “Something I've learned about myself is I feel like when I do miss them, I try and not push them away in a bad way, but I definitely put up that wall. I don't want to get too upset. So definitely the communication part of it, it takes a toll and it hurts because I just simply can't see 'em. But I don't know, I just go about my business daily. I try not to think about it too much. I'm here for a reason if I miss them. But if it was seriously a situation where I was that upset about it, I probably would just go home. What's the point of me being over here if I'm that upset about it? But I know that I have their support at all times regardless of anything. And I think that just helps me stay here and keep working hard.”

3. She Has Chemistry With Her Team

Amoore talked about the importance of team chemistry on the Sons of Saturdays Podcast. “It probably has to do with Coach Brooks. When you talk about team chemistry and team building, he never wants to force it. He's big on it naturally developing, which I think is huge. And you never have to be best friends with absolutely everyone on the team. And I think that's probably a shock to hear for some people. There's people that I love on the court and then I just don't really talk to when I'm home. But as long as we have that chemistry on the court, it helps immensely

4. She Observes The Court

Amoore talked about how she observes players during the game on the Sons of Saturdays Podcast. “I would say I watch a little of the three and the fours honestly, because I truly do truly believe that they make the biggest difference in the team when we play against teams and they have a really good three or a really good four, like okay, this is going to be a good game. Because I think when we played Ohio State and stuff like that, someone like a Cody Mcma, she changed the dynamic of that game. And I think obviously your point guard has to be really, really good and your five has to be dominant. But I think to be an all around team, the three and the four for sure have to be obviously the two. Two. I don't want to disrespect the two, but I can play some two. So it's not like I'm watching the two."
