Lady Bulldogs’ Caldwell looks to her feet for strength after months of doubt, struggle

Maya Caldwell broke free from a defender, had a wide-open layup and missed it as it rolled off the rim and trickled out of bounds. She had made five straight of the variety, so some frustration would’ve been reasonable. Instead, the Georgia sophomore looked down at her shoes and slapped the soles.

Caldwell sported a pair of deep pink sneakers emblazoned with the impossible-to-miss Nike swoosh. Her meaningful cue, however, came inches above on the toe overlay. On each foot, Caldwell wrote out her two favorite bible verses with a small-print Sharpie marker. It serves as a go-to for reassurance throughout a game.
