Five questions with New York Liberty center Janel McCarville
From the shameless self-promotion files comes David Zingler and Internet Broadcasting’s latest sit-down with a WNBA star, all via KSAT.com. This time, it’s recent WNBA player of the week Janel McCarville of the New York Liberty, who talked about her past health issues and how she battled back in becoming 2007’s Most Improved Player.
Q: Last year you won the Most Improved Player award. What was the key to your turnaround?
A: Confidence, overall — just having people believe in me and also getting the playing time I needed. I got a lot of confidence overseas, which carried over into the WNBA season.Q: You also had health issues with your back. How did that affect your game?
A: My first two years I played injured in Charlotte — a herniated disc that turned into a ruptured disc … it was to the point where I couldn’t walk. I didn’t quite have tingling sensations in my legs, but it limited my mobility and overall flexibility as well … I am obviously never 100 percent healthy with minor injuries here or there, but I am back to where I was in college.
Don’t forget to check out McCarville in the Liberty’s Outdoor Classic game later this month. There’s something else from that article, though, that makes me ponder some questions. I’ll address those in a near-future blog.
