I mentioned her upside and that, coupled with her being able to do things instinctively in the flow and her poise playing against older players sold me. Those two qualities right there will translate over to whatever next-level program she decides on. She can score in the flow, and take over when needed yet her unselfishness and making the <strong>RIGHT </strong>decisions have always stood out</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
