Aari McDonald talks to the Star about life on coach Adia Barnes' staff.
McDonald is a WNBA player for the Atlanta Dream. She's arguably the best Wildcat to ever don the uniform. And now she's Arizona's director of recruiting operations — her first step on her path to becoming a coach.
"When you are a player, you've done stuff for like 20 years and you don't know why you do the stuff — you don't know why the pivot that way," Barnes said."When you become a coach, you have to learn like, 'Why did I do that? Who taught me that?' And you have to dumb it down. That process of teaching isn't easy for a lot of people. It's like, 'Why do I do that? I don't know I just did it my whole career.
A:"I watch film with the coaches and give my input. I probably have the easiest job on staff. I was still stressed out like them, but there's not much I can do. I try to give my feedback when asked for it and I try to give solutions or suggestions. A:"I'm still trying to get used to just standing for like two hours. That's probably the hardest part for me to adjust to. But other than that, it hasn't really been a hard adjustment for me. I'm still involved in and around the sport I love and I get to help others. It's not really hard for me. It's fun."
