The newcomer of storm Erica Wheeler inspires with infectious energy on and off the field
“If you know me as a person I am, my energy always speaks more than my words and I know it.”
Erica Wheeler says it better herself.
In a few games, Erica has already attached herself to assault fans with incredible enthusiasm and flair for the dramatic.
Need a three -point clutch? Erica had it.
A key flight? A big game to start fans? Erica also covered.
“He is an energy donor,” said Storm coach, Noelle Quinn.
“You see her on the agitating touch by waving her towel, she always communicates with us and the team. On the ground, she was really effective in her minutes and what she does at the two ends of the soil offensively and defensively. It becomes contagious when your energy is positive and does not make positive results,” added Quinn.
The way Erica plays the game is not only a basketball thing, impressive than her game.
It’s just who is Erica Wheeler. The 2019 WNBA star MVP MVP is just in a way that lights up everyone.
“I am always happy, nothing can really demolish me, nothing can prevent me from my way because I believe in me more than anything. I am protected by my mother in paradise. I am protected by God who works with me every day, and as I said, I am happy, so nobody can really spoil this. Whoever is negative, I brush it because I know that I am.”
A wrought state of mind in Wheeler by his deceased mother. Who died of cancer while Erica was at the University of Rutgers.
“My mother is one of those parents who – there are 10 children on the block and they all come to my house because my mother has snacks, it’s cooking. For me, I always saw how my mother returned to her community, I wanted to do something like her,” said Wheeler.
So, it’s absolutely lived in Erica, you can see it in 30 seconds to speak with Wheeler.
But that also inspired Erica to restore many ways with the Wheeler Kid Foundation. Erica does so much with her, free basketball camps with hundreds of dollars of children for children to help families in all areas of need.
“A lady was about to be expelled with her three children, so we ended up paying her rent for three months. So for me, that’s what you don’t want to take the camera but you know it’s in your heart. So for me and my foundation, we try to provide these things, to give them things.
It’s Erica Wheeler.
Now she is in Seattle, playing with our storm, with the same mission on and off the ground.
“Aw Man, Seattle is great, this installation in which we are is great, a great sauce. Then, it is the organization and how much they pour us. The owners are here, so it just shows a good support system, they care about us. So, that’s the thing we love the most and makes us go out and play hard every night,” said Erica.
Really, a player who changes the situation. Not only how she has an impact on a basketball match, but on the way Erica Wheeler has an impact on anyone she meets, quite frankly.
“I have been in this league for 11 years by trying to always have an impact on the game wherever I can, whether I am on the bench or on the field, speaking to the referees in a certain way, which always makes it light because at the end of the day, I think that sometimes we forget to have fun and I always try to have fun and remind my teammates to have fun because it is a nice game.”
