Audra Jeffers quote: "It was hard at first knowing I couldn't get on the court. But I learned so much by practicing and watching the other girls. Plus, it gave me a good opportunity to get into the weight room and get stronger. I think that probably helped more than anything. I was able to improve my vertical leap and just add some muscle."
