A beautiful story about women's basketball, its challenges, its rewards, the W, playing overseas, family, love for the game, love lost for the game, and retirement, by Candice Wiggins.
An excerpt:
"Women’s basketball is an absolute grind, and continuous rehab compounds it. To supplement income we receive in the WNBA, the majority of us play overseas during the “offseason.” That means that, in many cases, we’re off to another country to start a grueling training camp and season just days after the WNBA season ends.
It’s taxing on the mind, body and spirit — you have to love what you’re doing."
