Kim Mulkey Could Help Flau’jae Johnson Dust Angel Reese’s LSU Legacy Courtesy of a Crucial Lesson
“We aren’t as close as we used to be,” Angel Reese admitted about her ex-teammate Flau’jae Johnson. Since Reese has left the NCAA, there has been a growing distance between her and Johnson. Whether this is a result of time constraints or if there is bad blood between the two is not clear. With Reese out of the picture, Johnson would naturally like to take over the reins and emerge as the chief player to give the ‘Chi-Town Barbie’ a solid response if there’s any bone to pick. And LSU head coach Kim Mulkey just might be the key.
On Friday’s episode on her podcast ‘Best of Both Worlds with Flau’jae’, Johnson sat down with Candace Parker when she divulged Mulkey’s advice. The junior revealed that she is mostly clumsy which has her head coach Mulkey asking her to “rebound the ball.”
Furthermore, the rapper also enunciated that the ex-Baylor coach has motivated her to give “give 110%.” This has sometimes also made Johnson doubt her own abilities. “My freshman year I just was like how am I going to do this,” Johnson stated. Nonetheless, she credits Mulkey for pushing her mental strength.
“Mulkey, she always tell us like she just kind of, just make you enjoy the college experience. Because she just be like you know at that next level it’s going to be cutthroat.” The Lady Tiger further added on her podcast, “She going to say the most off-the-wall stuff ever.” All this has helped Johnson as she mentioned, “I’m so much mentally stronger than I was like being able to be poised, being able to make mistakes and recover, and then being able to be efficient.”
