"Our vision was always going to be playing our basketball at the right time," she said. "Did it look the way we thought it should look like? No.
"But we have these schedules and times and goals already set and when we should meet them. Sometimes that is not in our control.
"It has come into fruition, but we still have work to do. I am very pleased with how we have overcome adversity.
"I love what I do, and I am very passionate. Every time I take a foot on the court, I don't take a moment for granted. I'm always so happy to play the game. My team-mates allow me to be me."
