Her parents encouraged her to try a number of sports. "My family is sporty and outdoorsy in general, so while playing basketball wasn't necessarily a given, being active was. I played many different sports growing up and had a love affair with volleyball before settling on basketball in my junior year of high school." (parlons-basket.com, 07 Apr 2017)

Her parents. (parlons-basket.com, 07 Apr 2017)

"My pre-game isn't as rigid as some players, but I do tie my shoes very particularly. I don't like the laces to be twisted. I make sure they're all laid down flat. After that, I pop in a piece of gum because I can't play without chewing on some gum." (basketball.ca, 01 Jan 2014)

Philosophy:

"Be confident and be yourself. We all bring something different to the game - and to life in general - so don't waste your time trying to be someone else. Find what you do well, hone it, and own it." (parlons-basket.com, 07 Apr 2017)

In 2008, 2009 and 2010 she was named to the All-West Coast Conference First Team in the United states of America. (basketball.ca, 01 Jan 2015)

RIO DISAPPOINTMENT
She was part of the Canada squad at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Although they had been hoping for a podium spot, they were knocked out in the quarterfinals by France. "It's always a disappointment to fall short of your goals, and we had some lofty, yet achievable, ones set for Rio. We had great momentum after the summer of 2015 and the preparation just before the Olympics in 2016. Unfortunately, our achievements prior to Rio cannot be taken into account. It doesn't matter that we had already beaten France twice that same summer. That's basketball; you've got to perform when it's required, and sometimes it doesn't go your way."
