re: HVL’s trainer essentially says HVL was lied to by LSU

and a trainer can certainly help, but he can't manufacture basketball skills.

In many team situations, it is often the case when someone has to step up and assume another's position. There are some limitations, but a certain amount of transfer and innovation is sometimes involved. We have pilots who learned on one aircraft move to another--or perhaps some members of rock bands will assume roles when needed. When a person moves into a new role, they should adapt and learn as much as they can so as to do the job more effectively. A trainer or coach can encourage you, but ultimately you have to discipline yourself to improve to the point where it's your best--though you might not be as good as the one you replace--or perhaps you find you are better or more flexible than the one you replaced. It could also be that HVL felt like she had been placed in a rut and couldn't find her way out (or perhaps didn't want to). It is not the trainer or coach, but the will of the individual.
