Dawn Staley talked about how she keeps her players motivated during holidays

Holidays are refreshing for the players but they also can lose the focus and motivation of players so Dawn Staley make sure that her squad stay sharp through every festive period in order to achieve the ultimate goal.

Before the Gamecocks went into 10-day Christmas break last year, Staley met with media after practice where she was asked how she planned to keep her players focused.

"You threaten them. I mean, I did," she said, via an X post by Noah Chast. "I've been in college before. I've been in this situation before ... So it has to be your discipline ... So it's really a mental test for all of us. But for me, it is for us to play to our standard always."

Even during holidays such as Christmas and Easter, Dawn Staley reminds her team to be the best version of themselves.
