“You have seen players in our league try to like toughen up Caitlin even when I wasn’t on her team. I know the talks that Phoenix had in the locker room. No, we’re gonna show her what the W really is, you know what I mean. Like, I get to it to a certain extent every rookie comes into the league and that’s how you’re gonna treat them. But there is just more for her. So, it’s her second year and now being on her team and like seeing it. I’m like what are people doing, it’s just too much,” Sophie Cunningham said via her podcast.
