Great Britain's Jenaya Wade-Fray is to take a complete break from basketball as she prepares to swap the court for the classroom.The St David's Islander, who has been part of Britain's women's squad for the last three years, will return to her alma mater, the University of Tennessee, after London 2012 to pursue a masters degree in counselling.While the next 12 months will be dedicated to hitting the books rather than the basket, the 23-year-old has not ruled out making a return to the Britain fold once she has finished her studies.“Actually this year I'm going take some time off to do my masters. Hopefully it will give me a chance to get my body healthy as I've been getting injured too much these last few months,” she said.“After that I will probably try and play somewhere, maybe back on the Great Britain team because I've been playing all my life and I'll definitely miss it.”A knee injury sustained just days before the Olympics reduced Wade-Fray to the role of a bit-part player, with the point guard spending far more time on the bench than the court.She admitted it was tough having to watch from the sidelines and had hoped for greater responsibility in her coach Tom Maher's plans.“It's been really frustrating, I hurt my knee four days before the start of the Olympics and it takes time to heal which we just didn't have,” said Wade-Fray.“It's been like trying to play on one leg and obviously my coach didn't really want me out there, so I couldn't really do much.“I can't really complain about it, it has just been frustrating though.”Although unable to make her mark on the Olympic stage, Wade-Fray, who had the privilege of having her picture taken with Prince William and Kate Middleton during the couple's visit to the Athlete's Village, has gained cherished memories that would last a lifetime.“Every time I've gone to eat I've seen someone and been like 'oh my gosh, I used to watch you on TV.' It's been a crazy few weeks and I've really enjoyed it,” she said.“It's been a good experience for me although we suffered some tough loses.“It was our first Olympics, our first time playing on the big stage and I think we did alright. We didn't expect to win every game or anything.“We played our tails off and tried hard every game and really that's all you can ask.”Britain coach Maher has declared himself proud of his team's efforts even though they finished the Olympics without a victory.Despite losing their final game 78-66 to Brazil, he said they could look back on a tournament in which they pushed both Canada and Russia close, and took the unbeaten French to overtime before losing in the final second.“I think we've had great results,” Maher said. “If Andorra played in a (football) World Cup and their biggest loss was 1-0 to Spain people would see that as a brilliant thing, and that's not an unrealistic comparison.“Sure we would like to win, but if France had missed a three-pointer on the buzzer, we would have won that game. I wouldn't say we should have won any of those games, the results were about right, but we could have flipped a couple of them with a bit of luck.”France topped Britain's Group B to advance to the knockout stage along with Australia, Russia and Canada.Qualifying from Group A were USA, Turkey, China and Czech Republic.
