Dawn Staley “I’m very appreciative of everything that has come my way, i really am. It’s necessary that we share our experiences, we share the good of the game and also share our approach to the game and why we are successful. Part of it is luck. Part of it is just working hard. Part of it is just being disciplined and being determined. That’s the secret of success, if there is a secret. There really is no secret, though. I just boils down to working hard and through that you’re hoping a little luck will come your way, and people need to hear that. It isn’t as difficult, but it isn’t impossible to be successful in whatever you want to do.”
