Canada's women's basketball team approaching Olympic qualifier with level of naiveté

They've appeared in travel vlogs, and they've learned that you'd better do something interesting in the first three seconds of a TikTok video, or else no one will watch.

As the Canadian women's basketball team settles in Sopron, Hungary, for its Olympic qualifying tournament, its veterans are leaning on the younger players as much as the opposite is true.

"[Head coach] Victor [Lapeña] said something that I really took to heart the other day," three-time Olympian Natalie Achonwa said.

"He mentioned that sometimes the naive approach of having someone like Syla [Swords], who's a high school student that hasn't been in any of these pressure situations, adds a little bit of lightness and fun to the group."

It is Swords who has documented the team's travels, including its recent one-hour bus ride from training camp in Vienna to Sopron where players were surprised with new headphones.
