Why Talent Isn't Enough: What a Strength Coach Teaches Working Moms

So when I was in the WNBA, I was super blessed. I worked for the San Antonio franchise, and over the course of 7 seasons, I got to work with over 15 WNBA All-Stars, 8 Olympians who represented 5 different countries, and 2 players who were inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. So all that to say, I got an up-close look at greatness. But at the same time, I saw players come into the league with talent that bounced out early. It was like they just didn't have the stickiness in order to be able to stay. And I feel like the difference was their habits and mindset. The ones that had longevity in their careers, the ones that almost outplayed their potential, came outta the league, maybe undrafted, made a team, and then all of a sudden they've got a 10-year career. It was really their habits and mindset that allowed them to have that type of success. It's what I call the separation factor, because when you get to a certain point, everybody is talented.

So then what do you do that allows you to separate from everybody else?
