Sydney Colson

I got injured in Seattle.

Like I've had, I've been going through like little bouts of stuff.

And I really want to show that I'm gonna finish my career strong and on my terms.

And I'm just gonna come and do exactly what I've always been doing.

And I'm gonna enjoy myself.

I'm not putting any pressures on what I need to be or what it needs to look like, because I don't think that's what makes basketball fun.

I think just,

seeing yourself do what you have been not necessarily training, but what you've been practicing within yourself, self-confidence, patience, understanding all these things, because I feel like I'm a good teammate to others and I like beat myself up on the inside.

So this year is going to be a year of I'm coming in.

I'm going to be a badass.

I'm going to do what I do.

And I'm also going to, you know, have a lot of fun doing it.

And I just can't wait for

This season of AU, with the roster that we have, the women showing up this year is...

absolutely incredible future hall of famers, potentially WNBA all-stars, future all-stars, et cetera.

And you know, this is going to be a really fun season for everyone.

And I'm really looking forward to seven back on the court and, you know, tapping into the college version of myself and like the prime version of myself and, you know, really get myself going.

It's just, you can tell that the passion for women's sports is deep within you and as well, and it radiates through the way that you cover us.

So we greatly appreciate you showing up here to AAU, but also what you do for the sport just generally.

Absolutely.
