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 .

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 . Last week , like we're gonna go up each week like your time seem to get faster every week you're just competing against yourself every day in the preseason you're working more so on like building your speed , building your strength more for the regular season , and then once you get into the regular season it's more so maintaining and cleaning up what you've already built .
um , for me personally I'm trying to put on a little bit more weight so like getting an extra protein , extra carbs like . Drinking shakes after practices that type of thing , so my recruitment process would have was a little bit different . Um , I had the potential to be able to skip a grade at an early age and I did so I'm a year ahead of where I should be technically I should be going into my sophomore year this year , so I'm young for a junior , um , and so getting used to getting recruited and talking with coaches out of high school was a unique experience for me .
I feel like getting in the additional sessions in the . Room like with my coaches with my trainers getting in extra individuals with my coaches was something that was really big for me that played out in games um my transfer process was a lot smoother than coming out of high school um this time around I was able to ask the right questions um at in talking with my coaches just get a better feel for the team atmosphere and the chemistry that was gonna be there also paying attention to the way that you're gonna be played , the way that you're gonna be used coming out of high school is gonna be important . I feel like in asking the right questions a lot of times coming out of high school when you start hearing people talk about the money piece in the NIO um it can change your perspective on a school and it can kind of blur the lines on some things so I feel like keeping the main thing the main thing like .
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 . Also getting in extra as much as you can getting in extra workouts , extra individuals getting up extra shots every day .
