So I played a lot growing up with boys and that I feel like that helped me a lot also as a player , just training with people that were a little more skilled than I was . Some of the best advice that I feel like I've gotten was , um , from my mother actually . So one of the things I remember most that she used to tell me all the time was to step on the court , like I was the best player every time , um , whether it was true or not .

Um , just having that mentality that I was the best player on the floor or just being like , having that confidence in myself , really helped me play the game , how I wanted to play it and helped me play with a lot of confidence and just really helped me believe in myself a lot . So I feel like that was the biggest thing , biggest piece of biggest piece of advice . I feel like that really helped me as a player .

Um , that's something I had to learn that it was ok to get help in certain classes . It was ok to ask for help if you need it . Like , that's a big thing that , especially when you go to such a procedure school , it's something I really had to learn that everybody needs help in certain areas .

So the biggest thing I had to learn was just time management and planning out what I wanted to do ahead of time , which helped me a lot . And then I would also say just asking for help . Um , that's something I had to learn that it was ok to get help in certain classes .

So the biggest thing is just if you , if you need help with something , definitely don't be afraid to ask . I would say to an athlete that's trying to earn a division one scholarship for their sport . The biggest thing I would say is having confidence in yourself .
