I like to tell myself affirmations daily stuff like that . I think mental health is super important . Um , I try to be an advocate for mental health , um , especially with people younger than me , but like for myself , I know that it's important and I , like I said , I journal , um , just to get everything out of my head because I am an overthinker and I'm a perfectionist , so getting it out is something that's important , um , something that I started practicing that .

And then I also took a yoga class where we would meditate , um , so those are just some of the things that I practice with my mental health . I feel like my recruitment process is different than a lot of people because COVID was kind of in the middle of it .
Some challenges that I've challenges that I faced is , uh , my senior year of high school , I tore my ACL , um , so I was out for my entire senior year . Um , and so it was a big adjustment coming to college , um , not knowing , just , just being nervous to go to college as is and then coming back on a from an injury is also like an added stress and so I think to overcome that I've , I've tried a ton of things to like focus on my mental health and I think my mental health is super important to my physical health and how I show up every day , um , so I think that's the main thing like . I like to journal .
Whatever happens at practice , whatever happens in the game stays there and then living your life outside of that is also important .

With summer workouts we were weight training and conditioning 5 days a week , um , so that has been like a really important piece to how we're performing on the court .
