For preseason workouts, Haack says \u201cI plan on working on mid range shots and creating my own shots off the dribble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haack also plans on working on her running ability to become a better defender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coach Gorski says that many players take May Interim classes, so several of the players stay on campus before preseason begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanksgiving and winter break are also tough because they do not have a lot of time to spend with family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
