Paul’s competitive spirit has pushed George to be more competitive and helped her grow as a player, as Paul’s leadership has been huge for both individual and team performances.
“She’s not afraid to, yell at me, and then team performance… I think she got us going. You know, she would hit, and then everyone would start hitting, and it was just like a dominant effect from there,” George said.
