Missy Traversi graduated from Maine, had a tryout with the Sky, and played abroad. She's now coaching high school in Massachusetts. Interesting to read about her transition:

Intensity and Traversi have never been strangers, but now it has to be channeled and expressed differently than in the past - and as a young coach, Traversi knows she has much to learn. That she would throw herself into it with the same intensity as when she played, and with the same sense of accountability, should come as no surprise.

"I'm learning something new every day," she said. "I've grown immensely in the last couple of years in terms of seeing the game at both ends of the court, especially in regard to post play. As a point guard, I often spent too much time focusing on the guard play as opposed to the post, and I've really done a good job of educating myself in post defense, and just watching the game and watching film, and going to clinics."
