While catching up with WNBA legend and Indianapolis icon Tamika Catchings at last week's Riverside Park court revitalization, I wondered:
- What is one cool thing one of the hardest-working women in the Circle City does when she gets a rare moment of rest and relaxation?
What she said: "This is probably not a 'cool' thing, but I am one of those floor people," Catchings said. "So when I get a moment to breathe and decompress, one thing I do is … we have a really fluffy carpet. I just lay on the carpet, I put my feet up and I just chill for a moment."
- "I need silence every once in a while. I'm not the person that drives in the car with the radio on. I don't want radio. I don't want music. I don't want any of that. I don't know if that's cool, but it's definitely something that gives me energy, and it might work for you too!"
