Taina Mair was in a bit of slump — at least by her lofty standards — in the two weeks before the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Before Duke left for Duluth, Ga., coach Kara Lawson pulled Mair aside and gave her a dose of the honest feedback that defines their relationship. In order for the Blue Devils to win the tournament, Lawson told Mair, she needed to be confident. Mair got the message, leading Duke to a second straight conference championship and earning tournament MVP honors. “She just pushed me to a different level,” said Mair, a Dorchester native. “That allowed me to play more freely.” Mair’s greatest superpower is her ability to take constructive criticism and use it to improve. No matter how much she accomplishes, she understands she’s never a finished product: bostonglobe.com/2026/03/19/spo…
