Today's article by Kerry Eggers on Destiny Slocum being ready to go for the Beavs is accessible below. Of note is that it appears that Slocum is in the best shape of her life after arriving at OSU during the summer of 2017.
Slocum has lost 12 pounds since arriving in Corvallis the summer of '17. "I wanted to get into the best shape of my life" — and says she and her teammates worked harder than ever during this past summer.
"This summer was so much better for us than last summer," she says. "We had a mindset that was different. That carried over to cardio and strength workouts. We're stronger and more fit than we've been. And we did so much together off the floor. Every single day, we get better, but we also get closer."
"I always have big goals," she says. But she has altered them in the year she has been in Corvallis. Now she says she is thinking team more than about herself.
"Before, it would have been All-American or National Player of the Year," Slocum says. "Those are good things, but I want a national championship more than anything. I remember watching Notre Dame's players after they won it all last season. To see that joy — I want to experience that."
