Juju Watkins is sharing her secrets to shining on and off the court!
The high school basketball star, 17, tells PEOPLE, "I want to make sure I look good and feel good," when she's getting ready for a game. "If I look good, if the hair is good, if the face is good, then I play my best."
Sierra Canyon's starting point guard, who was named MVP of the 2022 FIBA Under-17 Women's Basketball World Cup in Hungary, says, "If you have confidence with everything that you do, you can pretty much do anything."
Watkins, who committed to USC and will play there in the fall, says the best way for someone to feel comfortable in their own skin is to "figure out where they feel their most confident and try to keep that same energy with everything that they do."
