No one told me like what I need to do more.

I need to be better at this.

Like I was self-aware and I was able to self coach.

and also like take,

criticisms and compliments from my peers around me who I felt like truly cared about me.

And this is just the perfect atmosphere for growth.

And I couldn't be more grateful for AU in my time here.

So I love AU because of there's games within the game.

You wouldn't play some things like you would traditionally play a traditional basketball game.

And I love,

whenever you need a foul, when you wouldn't typically foul, but in order for you to win the quarter points, you would foul, put them at the free throw line and you're playing the long game in terms of all the games.

But for you to win that quarter, you need to put them at the free throw line to get another possession so you can get another shot.

And it's just the games within the game, the layers to AU and also the dynamics of when you play on a basketball team, you play with like 12 women and it's the same ladies every day that you're playing with and competing with.

You're,

scoping out who on other teams you feel like you would play best with.

If you get to a captain's chair, who are you going to select?

And also you're keeping good vibes because you don't want to be that teammate that's like, oh, I don't want her on my team.

So it's a really healthy environment.

It's so much fun.

And I think that the games within the game of basketball also make it extremely exciting.
