sure I saw you before the game you kind
of were off to the side during warm-ups
and you kind of closed your eyes and
kind of had a took a breath took a
moment to yourself kind of what’s going
through your mind at that point and then
as the game’s going on and you’re
cooking um what’s that feeling what’s
going through that through your mind as
you’re having that much success yeah
um
sorry um before every game I just try to
take a moment um and I pray and I uh am
kind of seeking guidance from my father
he passed away when I was 16 in 2021 so
uh I just try to kind of take a second
and ground myself and and uh tap into my
uh spiritual side and just know that
everything’s going to be okay and he’s
got the best seat in the house um

  1. How come the ones willing to mention god or jesus never act like they are the victim. Its a rhetorical question for those wondering

  2. Keep your head high young lady! I lost my mom in 2021.. the pain be real, but everyday you live is for them!

  3. I am so proud of Audi Crooks for saying that she prays and taps into her spiritual side and thinks about her father….. young people these days do not have the kind of heart this amazing young woman has and I wish her the very very best

  4. Wow! Im a Dad of 6 amazing adults and ill tell you that THIS GIRL makes me proud just like my kids for my time serving my Country. We may sway, We may step off course, We may fall down but its AMERICANS LIKE THIS that PICK ME UP, DUST ME OFF, AND REMIND ME TO BE BETTER EVERY DAY.
    Young Lady, I KNOW your Daddy is watching over you and SHOWING OFF HIS WINGS WITH PRIDE IN YOU!
    May God continue to give you the Heart, body, and Soul of a LIONESS.

  5. Audi Crooks is a phenom and a legend in the making! I wish her nothing but success in basketball and in life!
