At that time, Boyle was facing stiff competition from top-ranked teams like UCLA, which boasted talented young players. This quote reflects her tactical approach to coaching and her emphasis on mental preparation.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\n\nBoyle's statement reveals a counterintuitive truth: she values opponents' effort over their natural talent. By emphasizing the need for UCLA's \"big three kids\" to work hard for their shots, Boyle is acknowledging that even skilled players can be made to struggle if they're forced out of their comfort zones.\n\n**How to Use This**\n\nWhen tackling a challenging project or task at work, recall Boyle's emphasis on making opponents (or in this case, obstacles) \"work for their shots.\" Instead of immediately relying on your own talents or expertise, force yourself to put in extra effort and make the task more difficult. By doing so, you'll not only build resilience but also develop a deeper understanding of the project and its intricacies.\n\nAs a Behavioral Psychologist, I'd add that this mindset shift can be particularly effective when tackling tasks outside your comfort zone or those requiring collaboration with others. By acknowledging the potential for both internal and external obstacles, you'll be better equipped to navigate complex challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.",{"id":40,"quote_text":41,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":42,"source":43,"quote_tag":44,"commentary":9},1050927,"For the next three years, those freshmen are going to remember that last half-hour (of the selection show) and remember what it's like and what it means and start owning their team and buying into what we're telling them.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[45],{"id":46,"tag":47},4051935,{"id":48,"tag_name":49},12913,"buying",{"id":51,"quote_text":52,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":53,"source":54,"quote_tag":55,"commentary":9},1050925,"I knew from the get-go that they feed off of transition.
