Pay off and that everyone is just going to keep growing , keep growing the sport and just overall college athletics as a whole . I think it's very important paying attention to personal brand . I'm working on a lot more this year , but I think overall in college athletics , especially people from the outside get such a perception of the athletes based on their performance , and there's a lot of judgments kind of made about the athlete themselves even though the fan doesn't know the athlete .

So I think NIL and building your brand is a very important thing to use because you can show everyone around you not only who you are as an athlete but who you are as a person and how that . As a whole contributes to how you play and what you play for and I think it's just really important for the world really to know you outside of the judgments they make about you overall whether it's recruiting , whether it's training is just really be open like be open to any sort of constructive criticism be open to taking your chances even if something scary and seems like a jump like be open .

And kind of just go for it because you never know where things are going to take you and if you really push yourself outside of your comfort zone that's where you're going to have the most growth .

Obviously like we're traveling a lot as a team and we have a lot of games we're missing class a lot , but for me I try to get a lot of work done on the road , especially on like planes or bus rides if we're going there so that then I can be once it's time . For game I'm fully present and I'm good , but I'm still maintaining my part as a student athlete and contributing to my team by making sure I'm staying disciplined in the classroom and on the court so I think kind of the term that others might see me as a role model , it's . Very difficult to describe just because of how great a thing it is .
