Emma Cooper from Andover Central had a busy offseason where she not only focused on her individual game, but also in a team-environment
“I have been going to trainings and scrimmages weekly during the offseason to improve and get ready for the season,” Cooper said. “I have also gone to a few college camps. Over the offseason, I have been working on this during games and scrimmages and on my own.”
Being a better scorer at the rim was a focus for Cooper in her preparations for the season.
“As an individual I want to improve finishing at the basket,” Cooper said. “Whether it’s driving or a post move, I want to finish tough shots at the rim.”
The Lady Jaguars have a strong bond and Cooper said that is one reason why basketball season is so enjoyable. She is also trying to cultivate the program’s culture by investing in the new players.
“I am most excited to play basketball with my friends one more time,” Cooper said. “In practice, games and outside of playing I have a lot of fun with teammates during the season. As a team, I always want to improve team chemistry and getting to know each other, especially younger players.”
