“Mainly strength. Strength is a big part for me, and holding my weight throughout the year. I feel like last summer, I worked really hard and I got really strong. At the beginning of the year, I felt pretty strong. But as the season went by and minutes were up, I lost a lot of strength — and I feel like that was a detriment to my game. And so, figuring out that piece of it, holding my weight, and then also just mainly working on a lot of middle area, midrange, post-ups, stuff like that.”
