Arizona freshman guard Paris Clark hits her stride after her dog, Honey, comes to live with her; Wildcats visit ASU on Sunday.
But it’s also about those magical, intangible elements — toughness, agility or even how calm you are on the court in the most stressful moments.Take the last 11 seconds of last Sunday’s game against Utah.
Cavapoos are known for being affectionate and an almost therapeutic presence. That could be part of the secret to Clark’s performance on the court. “In the beginning, as a freshman, you get really discouraged, which is normal. You lose confidence because you're not playing,” Arizona coach Adia Barnes said. “Every freshman goes through it. I've seen a big shift in her attitude and her mentality the last month and just taking it in, being coachable. I think she's improved. And she has a good mindset right now.”
Clark got into the Utah game early and played most of the fourth quarter, which meant staying ready, executing the game plan, “giving it my all” and putting her own little extra spin on that. Clark said her shift in mindset comes down to being “more intentional about what I'm doing in practice and really focusing on the details so that I can get a chance to get on the court.”
