In her interview with ESPN, Paige Bueckers gave some advice to the next generation.

“Stand firm in who you are,” Bueckers said. “There’s a of people who write you off. There’s a lot of narratives, that try to put you in a box, telling you you’ve got to do this, you’ve got to do that, you’ve got to be more like this player, you’ve got to be more like that player.

“There’s people that doubt you because they think you’re doing it on your strength alone — we lean on God’s strength here. Through God’s power, for God’s purposes. We’re not doing this alone. We have a village that we lean on. Just do it for the people who believe in you. And always stick to who you are.”
