When Missing Shots Start Affecting Everything Else
from The Underdawg’s Voice Podcast Hosted by Coach Que
Somaya Davis is known for her shooting — but what happens when the shot stops falling? In this episode of the Underdawgs Voice Podcast, the Class of 2029 St. Frances Academy combo guard takes us inside a difficult tournament game where missed shots started affecting more than scoring. Her defense slipped, communication dropped, frustration grew, and she began feeling like she was letting her team down. The turning point came before the late free throws. Somaya stopped waiting for her shot to fix the game and found other ways to help: defend, communicate, create for teammates, get steals, and get back. She also talks about transferring to St. Frances, accountability, what “next play” means after a mistake, what athletes need from parents after a bad game, and why a coach has to be able to trust more than a player’s shot.
