Plus, she deserves some time to be a college student. ...if she's trying to be an Olympian?

Plus, she deserves some time to be a college student. ...if she's trying to be an Olympian? There is zero upside to being in Anaheim this spring. It would probably hurt her chances for 2020. At Wisconsin she will train and play with a team To Shhhh’s point, if she has a shot to go in 2020 missing a semester of college is a no brainer. She’s had plenty of time to be a college student, this is the Olympics.

So to that point, what does spending the spring in Anaheim get her that sting in Madison doesn’t? How is it superior when the rest of Team USA is still off doing their pro thing? Maybe Rettke arranges her schedule so she can take off early and join her national team colleagues in Anaheim when they arrive. But I fail to see any advantage to her being there by herself.

I’m pretty sure she’s not entirely by herself. Other USA players I’m sure are there, just not the top tier of them. Those players would still form a better team than wisco would. And she’d be training more volleyball and a tougher practice schedule than a college spring season which isn’t taken super seriously. It’s a different environment that is a higher level and more intense training

I think both Adams and Foluke are there training. While the bulk of A-team players are not around, it's not nobody. Otherwise, I don't know whether it is better to be there or Madison. Aside from weather.

Anyone heard if/when Dana will be back with the national team? I half expected her to be taking the spring semester off to go out to Anaheim and give everything she can at making a run at the Olympics. I suppose nowadays you can probably enroll in online courses and do things remotely if need be. At least at Michigan, online classes usually don’t fulfill major requirements/transfer to equivalent courses. Could be different everywhere tho

It’s a different environment that is a higher level and more intense training I disagree on nearly all points with the exception of probably more. The training in Madison is pretty darn good, as are the players, and I’d bet anything the strength and conditioning program at UW is vastly better. Not sure where you get that spring training “isn’t taken real serious” or that the spring NT training is more intense.

You can bang out your Gen Ed stuff online but I’d have to imagine she probably only has classes in her major left to complete.

A team players who were in Asia (A lot of them this year) as well as those that were released early in Italy or don't have great pro contracts will be there. I bet it's better than Madison, particularly since USA is a program that stresses "system fit"

I do not think hanging with the cheerleaders will benefit Dana enough to justify her missing school.

I do not think hanging with the cheerleaders will benefit Dana enough to justify her missing school. She has a much better chance at making the team if she is there, if she didn’t, she wouldn’t have left. I bet that karch advised her what her best chance would be and how tot do it. She didn’t make this decision just based off her opinion. If she wants to play in the olympics, ofc she should take these valuable training months to further adapt to the speed and coaching style of the nt

I assume she is still in school, unless that news isn't public. This discussion was mostly based on my question as to whether anyone had heard anything on that front.

Yea idk where she is but the notion that taking a semester off to train at a much higher level is not her best chance of making the olympics or is not a good idea for her is insane. Wisco is an amazing program, but a wisco spring season is no where near being in training gym with the nt. She’ll get better and be forced to work on things that ncaa players don’t force her to be better at.

I think you are overestimating who is there, what they’re doing and at the intensity level it happens. It’s her best chance because the NT says it is, after that.......she’s also in a leadership role as a senior captain on a team with an excellent chance to win her programs first title. So there’s that too.
