\u0018Former Sinclair basketball player Danielle Forrer is now an assistant coach aside Sinclair women\u2019s Basketball head coach Jeff Dillon.<\/p>\n
\u201cDanielle has been a tremendous player for two years,\u201d Dillon said. \u201cWe are thankful to have her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forrer was optimistic about playing for the University of Dayton this fall after earning a spot as a walk-on. However, after playing for the summer and part of the fall season, Forrer found herself having to make a tough choice. Her credits from Sinclair did not transfer to the University Dayton completely and she found herself falling behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking the decision not to play was extremely hard for me,\u201d Forrer said. \u201cI was behind in my major and I had to make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forrer said that she did not want to let anyone down and have her family or Dillon view her as a quitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had no idea what I was supposed to do,\u201d Forrer said. \u201cI obviously love the game and wanted to continue, because playing for UD is one of the best experiences I could ever have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forrer\u2019s family and Dillon are primarily the ones who helped her become confident with the choice not to play this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cCoach Dillon had nothing negative to say about it. He was so uplifting and really believed I had made the right decision,\u201d Forrer said. \u201cI was looking ahead at my future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forrer believes that she made the right choice.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone I have talked to has told me that the decision I made was very mature,\u201d Forrer said. \u201cAlthough, they are sad they can’t watch me play anymore. In the end it is the degree that counts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forrer has now started her role as the assistant coach for the women\u2019s basketball team at Sinclair and is glad that she did not have to give up a passion that she’s had since third-grade.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlways give 110 percent,\u201d Forrer said. \u201cIf you are not willing to work hard, it won’t get you very far.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dillon said Forrer has a real desire to succeed and use her experiences to help the players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a young team this year and are looking forward to the season,\u201d Dillon said. \u201cOur main goal is to help [the players] along the way and impact them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team lost their home opener against the University of Cincinnati \u2013 Clermont 78-60. Sinclair sophomore forward Riley Weng had 18 points and 13 rebounds in the loss<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
