Check out Hooper's comments at the following link
The gymnastics background may help explain some of the ability to redirect the ball for a kill even when her back is to it, as she has done several times this year already. Like a good gymnast, she seems to be very aware of her spatial relationships to everything else on the court.
I'm not sure whether her comment about pole vaulting means she actually vaulted in high school or just that she wanted to. Either way it probably is a good sign of her aggressiveness as an athlete.
