And watching some film and some games on the way that they wanted to use me and how I could be played here , it just all clicked for me some goals that I have for this season , I definitely wanna be able to come in and contribute , play some big minutes , um , make plays for my team , hopefully get some wins , make it far in the tournament , hopefully win a national championship . Personally , also being here in LA I feel like growing my social media presence , um , growing my Instagram , my TikTok , like getting more engaged socially , I would say is another goal for me . Some things that I emphasize to make sure that I can maximize my minutes I would say the biggest thing for me has been conditioning like making sure you're in shape for long enough to be able to play the minutes that you wanna play is important .
So honestly , within the first conversation I was pretty excited with it being USC just with the name and who they were and talking with them . And watching some film and some games on the way that they wanted to use me and how I could be played here , it just all clicked for me some goals that I have for this season , I definitely wanna be able to come in and contribute , play some big minutes , um , make plays for my team , hopefully get some wins , make it far in the tournament , hopefully win a national championship . Personally , also being here in LA I feel like growing my social media presence , um , growing my Instagram , my TikTok , like getting more engaged socially , I would say is another goal for me .
I go to the University of Southern California and I play women's basketball . Um , when it comes to my training , some of the most important things that I focus on , I would say is always pushing myself , um , upping the standard with everything I do when it comes to eating , taking care of my body , like getting the right amount of sleep every day . I would say when it comes to weight training and conditioning , um , something that we kind of prioritize as a team is just like I said , continuing to raise the bar in the standard so whenever you lift it the .
Um , I feel like no matter what level you're trying to reach , being a good person is important , so responding to text messages like having energy on your calls with coaches , that type of thing is very important and continuing those connections going into college . Some advice that I would give to you guys , I would say to have a plan going into it . So for me personally , I make vision boards .
Um , also wanting to give back to like the homeless , um , going into those stores , letting them pick some things out , like helping them to make some outfits , get some things for them for younger players who are striving to be where I am now , I would say the biggest thing for me is to surround yourself with like-minded people . Um , get yourself an accountability partner , somebody who's gonna push you and challenge you when the times get hard , like there's gonna be days where you don't feel good , where you're tired , you need somebody in your corner that's also gonna push you that knows what it is that you want and where you wanna go . Hey , my name's Kai .
