"I would just say, “Believe in yourself. Keep working hard. Don't let anybody tell you what you can and cannot do. If you put the work in, have the confidence, and have the faith…man, you can do anything you want in this world. But like I said, you have to believe in yourself first. Believing means putting in the work to do everything it takes to get to where you want.” I feel like you can do anything. If you believe in yourself, have that confidence, and work hard, nothing can stop you."
— Jordan on pieces of advice she would give to young athletes who want to play basketball at the professional level.

"One thing that I think is important that I had to learn the hard way is that: the work is important. You know, basketball isn't just going in the gym and putting up shots. It's the way that you eat. It's the way that you train. It's the lifts, you know? It's being able to take criticism and being able to give criticism. A big thing is learning how to communicate. You gotta be able to communicate with coaches, teammates. So just being talkative and being active—putting that work first and always keeping your head down—is (key). And remember…how you do anything is how you do everything."

"I would just tell my younger self to not worry. You know, you get into this headspace where you feel like things are not going your way or it isn’t going fast enough. I think, as a person, you gotta understand that your timing is your timing. Don't compare yourself to no one else's journey; and realize that everything happens for a reason. So I would just tell my younger self: “Don't worry, you're gonna be fine.”"
