Westward Bound
The newly-minted member of the Sparks is eager to start her WNBA career.
Everythings happening so fast, Feagin, a senior at the University of South Carolina, tells Bustle.
I flew from New York, ended up in Atlanta.
I leave for LA tomorrow.
Im excited to be close to a beach, to be out there in Hollywood, says Feagin.
Is this a taste of what fans can expect from Feagins tunnel walks right now?
Im super excited about that part, she says.
I enjoy getting dressed.
Now that youve had a couple days to process since the draft, how are you feeling?
I mean, I feel amazing to know that Im getting this opportunity.
As youve been making this transition, was it hard to say goodbye to anyone?
It was really hard to say goodbye to my teammates.
Just to know that Ive been around them for so long and enjoyed every moment.
What about your college coach?
It seems like you guys are close.
We are very close actually.
She told me she loved me and everything that Ive done.
It [was] the best.
Im curious how youve grown as a person in the past four years.
On the court, Ive grown mentally and vocally.
I understand that what helps me is being vocal and talking and communicating everything that I do.
Not really, but Im not really sure how to work Twitter I did see him welcome me.
Maybe I should go in there and retweet it or something.
Thats very exciting, because a lot of people say that I pass like Magic Johnson.
You should tell him that.
I will when I see him.
I understand that both of your parents played basketball in college.
Whats it been like for them to watch you take this next step?
Have they had any good advice as youve reached these milestones?
They are very much my support system.
They just help me through any and everything.
In my darkest and lowest moments, they helped me be great.
