When You Make the Big Play and Still Lose | Kennedy Parker

<p>Kennedy Parker made the shot her team needed. The other team still won.</p><p>The Salem High School freshman joins Coach Que on the Underdawgs Voice Podcast to revisit the three that tied the game with about 20 seconds left, the other team’s game-winner, and why she kept her head up when the result hurt. She shares how that response developed and what she wants other athletes to remember after a loss.</p><p>Kennedy also opens up about the “what ifs” that show up under pressure and the roughly 20 seconds she says it can take to get herself back. Coach Que challenges that recovery window, and Kennedy names the real job behind next play: get back on defense.</p><p>For parents, the conversation explores when Kennedy wants to talk after a tough game, why listening helps, and how immediate criticism can make the moment harder. Plus, the Fun Fire Round brings out her defensive preferences, teammate trust, and Lisa Leslie pick.</p><p>If this sounds like a pattern you’re seeing in your athlete, DM Coach Que PRESSURE on Instagram and describe one real moment:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/underdawgsvoice/</p><p>Explore 1-on-1 Pressure-Response Coaching:</p><p>https://the-underdawgs-voice.newzenler.com/courses/1-on-1-basketball-pressure-coaching</p><p>Support Underdawgs Voice with official merch:</p><p>https://underdawg-voice.myspreadshop.com/</p><p>Follow the Underdawgs Voice Podcast for more athlete stories and conversations about pressure.</p><p>Pressure reveals training.</p><p><br></p>
