, and she's been to almost as many Olympics as there are fingers on her hand, she knows a thing or two about pressure. Sue's professional basketball career, spanning close to two decades now, has taught her how to keep her cool."Do I have moments where I don't? Yes," the 39-year-old Seattle Storm forward told POPSUGAR."But for the most part, I'm able to stay calm and still perform even when the pressure's on.
Gearing up for Tokyo 2020, the US women's national basketball team, led by veterans like Sue and Diana Taurasi, is set to compete in the Olympic Qualifying tournament taking place Feb. 6 through 9 in Serbia. The team already has an Olympic berth because of its 2018 FIBA World Cup win, but playing together to determine the right roster chosen out of this pool of women, Sue said, is the best possible scenario. That roster will come out sometime this Spring.
