She loves the opportunity to compete, grow, and be part of a team. Challenging herself against top competition, learning new skills, and pushing herself to improve every day. Building friendships with her teammates and the lessons in leadership, discipline, and perseverance make basketball more than just a sport, it's something she is passionate about and loves every day.
Juju Watkins inspires her because she plays with confidence, works hard, and stays humble. Juju's determination and leadership motivates her to improve every day, while her character off the court shows the importance of kindness, discipline, and giving back. She inspires her not only to be a better basketball player, but also a better teammate, student, and person.
The moment that makes me the proudest was watching her earn back to back All-Tournament Team honors on the Adidas Jr. 3SSB Circuit this year. Seeing her compete against some of the nation's best players and succeed through hard work, resilience, and a team first attitude was incredibly rewarding. More than the awards, I'm proud of the character she displays—staying humble, encouraging her teammates, and always looking to improve.
