[bouncing echoes]

00:00:10.750 --> 00:00:13.085
When I play basketball,
I feel like

00:00:13.085 --> 00:00:15.379
there's nothing around me
that can stop me.

00:00:17.506 --> 00:00:20.426
Like if a meteor came
and flew into the gym,

00:00:21.218 --> 00:00:23.179
that won't stop me
from playing basketball.

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:24.930
It's like my safe space.

I'm already so happy today.

00:02:21.547 --> 00:02:23.924
I'm super excited
for high school.

I'm also excited for club,
but, um,

00:02:26.552 --> 00:02:28.470
I've been waiting so long
to play in high school.

00:02:29.388 --> 00:02:30.890

to be back,

00:02:44.862 --> 00:02:48.240

to put on a show for everybody.

I thought it was just
a hurt on impact,

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.927
and then my athletic trainer
tried to bend it,

00:03:07.927 --> 00:03:09.720
and it wouldn't bend.

[woman] Garvey Medical,
how can I help you?

00:03:21.857 --> 00:03:24.026
Hi there. My name is Jayme.
I wanted to know

00:03:24.026 --> 00:03:29.323
if Ashley Chea's,
um, x-ray referral

00:03:29.323 --> 00:03:31.992
was completed and if
I could come and pick it up now.

00:03:37.498 --> 00:03:40.584
I'm going to go right now,
to pick up Ashley’s x-ray.

00:03:40.584 --> 00:03:43.837
-Thank you so much for helping.
Like, if I don't have you,

00:03:43.837 --> 00:03:45.589
I don't know how to do it
with Ashley.

00:03:45.589 --> 00:03:47.675
-We don't have time.
-Oh, don't even worry.

00:03:47.675 --> 00:03:49.635
-My God, thank you!
-I'm going to go

00:03:49.635 --> 00:03:51.887
-to Dr. Edna's office right now.
-Oh, okay.

00:03:51.887 --> 00:03:53.973
Then, after school,

00:03:53.973 --> 00:03:56.141
a regular school day,
pick up Ashley.

00:03:56.141 --> 00:03:59.895
And then if we need to go see
an orthopedic surgeon,

00:03:59.895 --> 00:04:03.232
then back to Dr. Edna's office
to get the referral.

00:04:03.232 --> 00:04:04.233
And then go.

00:04:04.483 --> 00:04:05.985
All right, guys, goodbye.

00:04:05.985 --> 00:04:08.028
-[Lida] Thank you so much.
-[Jayme] Thank you.

00:04:18.497 --> 00:04:19.581
A tear?

00:04:19.581 --> 00:04:21.208
[Jayme] Does that mean
completely or...?

00:04:21.208 --> 00:04:24.128
-[doctor] Almost completely.
-[Jayme] Almost completely torn.

00:04:41.437 --> 00:04:45.399
[Jayme] Tomorrow, right away,
we start her rehabilitation.

00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.526
Every school day,
five days a week.

00:04:47.526 --> 00:04:50.446
So I told her she gets
one day to be sad about it,

00:04:50.446 --> 00:04:52.114
and at the end of today,

00:04:52.114 --> 00:04:53.741
once she puts her head
on her pillow,

00:04:53.741 --> 00:04:56.785
tomorrow she's gotta wake up
and the sadness has to be gone.

00:05:02.207 --> 00:05:04.418
[Ashley] I'm still feeling
like crap.

00:05:04.418 --> 00:05:05.961
Um, because I have

00:05:05.961 --> 00:05:08.088
some of the biggest tournaments
of my life coming up,

00:05:08.088 --> 00:05:11.425
and that's when all the college
coaches are gonna be there.

00:05:16.388 --> 00:05:18.432
[Coach] Good, quick.
Hit that quick!

00:05:21.268 --> 00:05:24.354
[Ashley] I just need to, like,
throw that thought away

00:05:24.354 --> 00:05:26.774
of, like, being afraid
to get hurt again.

00:05:26.774 --> 00:05:28.817
That's the main thing

00:05:28.817 --> 00:05:30.778
that holds you back
from being great.

and I'm in the class of 2023,

gonna be the hardest year.

Um...

pretty hard classes, so...

00:06:12.903 --> 00:06:15.447
And I'll see, like,
my teachers and everything.

00:06:16.448 --> 00:06:20.077

they take it easy on me.

do you think Ashley is going to
be academically strong enough?

Don't want to waste her time
if Princeton isn't a good fit."

00:07:15.048 --> 00:07:16.508
That's a great question.

00:07:16.508 --> 00:07:19.428
I can send you her transcripts
from last year

00:07:19.428 --> 00:07:21.763
as well as her course load
for this year.

00:07:21.763 --> 00:07:26.476
But, uh, she's in communication
with a couple of other Ivies.

a public-school kid

00:07:33.066 --> 00:07:34.818
before she came
to Flintridge Prep.

Hey. Hey, Rowan.

-Hey, Rowan.

00:07:40.949 --> 00:07:43.327
[dramatic melody plays]

00:07:43.327 --> 00:07:47.539
[Jayme] We're really a school
that is all about

00:07:47.539 --> 00:07:49.291
a rigorous education.

00:07:49.291 --> 00:07:51.126
We just happen to also have

00:07:51.126 --> 00:07:53.337
a really talented
basketball team.

00:07:53.337 --> 00:07:55.255
[Ashley] Coach Jayme
and Coach Kevin

00:07:55.255 --> 00:07:58.884
went to one of our games
and talked to the team.

00:07:58.884 --> 00:08:02.512
She told me the coaching staff
was like family.

00:08:02.512 --> 00:08:05.265
Coach Kevin and Coach Jayme,
they're literally cousins.

00:08:05.265 --> 00:08:07.851
So it was really like family.

00:08:07.851 --> 00:08:12.189
I just fell in love with
what they told me about Prep,

00:08:12.189 --> 00:08:14.191
and I knew that I wanted
to go there.

00:08:16.985 --> 00:08:21.782
I picked up the phone
and I called my headmaster,

00:08:21.782 --> 00:08:23.408
which I had never done before,
in my life

00:08:23.408 --> 00:08:26.411
and made a plea

00:08:26.411 --> 00:08:28.330
that if we invest
in this family,

00:08:28.330 --> 00:08:29.665
we're going to change

00:08:29.665 --> 00:08:34.127
an entire family's
educational path

00:08:34.127 --> 00:08:36.964
for generations to come
with this one child.

00:08:55.482 --> 00:08:57.442
[Lida] I never played sports
before.

00:08:57.442 --> 00:09:00.404
So I don't know what sports
are important.

00:09:00.404 --> 00:09:04.283
Me and my mom, we say,
"Wasting time!”

00:09:05.450 --> 00:09:08.870
My family,
the whole entire family,

00:09:08.870 --> 00:09:11.581
no one supported Ashley
playing basketball.

00:09:18.463 --> 00:09:21.508
We work hard, but I don't want
Ashley to work like me.

00:09:22.718 --> 00:09:25.095
-[man] Lida, good morning.
-Good morning, Frank!

00:09:25.095 --> 00:09:26.555
Good morning, David.

00:09:26.555 --> 00:09:29.599
To go, number eight, ready! Hi!

00:09:34.062 --> 00:09:37.691
I want her
to get a good school,

00:09:37.691 --> 00:09:40.360
you study hard, you work hard.

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.446
[dramatic melody plays]

00:09:43.739 --> 00:09:45.741
Education,
we don't have that much,

00:09:45.741 --> 00:09:47.784
so I want her to get
more education

00:09:47.784 --> 00:09:49.578
so she can work...

00:09:49.578 --> 00:09:52.372
not— not with the power,
not with the body,

00:09:52.372 --> 00:09:53.665
with the— with the brain.

00:09:54.458 --> 00:09:56.251
Hug! A-yah!

00:09:58.295 --> 00:10:01.256
[Ashley] My mom, I know
that she's always there,

00:10:01.256 --> 00:10:04.092
but... sometimes I don't think

00:10:04.092 --> 00:10:06.553
that she, like,
is thinking about me.

00:10:27.741 --> 00:10:30.160
[Jayme] Before this,
I was going to school.

00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:33.789
I was coaching already.

00:10:34.790 --> 00:10:36.458
I started catering.

00:10:43.006 --> 00:10:45.884
Both of my grandmothers
were amazing in the kitchen.

00:10:47.094 --> 00:10:48.929
So, Grandma Kiyomura
lived with us

00:10:48.929 --> 00:10:51.223
for a lot
of when I was growing up.

here's the secret right here.

00:10:57.396 --> 00:10:58.647
Where is it?

Banana. She put
one smashed banana.

00:11:13.870 --> 00:11:16.456
No, I'm going to—
I'm just picking up the girls.

00:11:17.416 --> 00:11:18.542
Thank you.

00:11:19.084 --> 00:11:20.919
How was your day, girls?

00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.254
-It was good.
-Good.

00:11:22.254 --> 00:11:24.798
Was it good?
You guys must be tired.

-Wake up!
-[Ashley mumbles indistinctly]

00:11:46.319 --> 00:11:49.406
Want something to drink?
You gonna wake up?

00:11:49.406 --> 00:11:50.699
No?

00:11:54.453 --> 00:11:56.746
-[Ashley] Mm-mm.
-Okay. [chuckles]

00:11:59.624 --> 00:12:01.042
Thank you.

Take off the caterer hat,
put on the coach's hat.

00:12:16.016 --> 00:12:17.392
Today's our first day
of tryouts.

00:12:17.392 --> 00:12:19.269
It is a three-day tryout.

00:12:19.269 --> 00:12:22.189
For some of our sophomores,
they never tried out last year.

00:12:22.189 --> 00:12:25.525
We just had one team last year,
it was the COVID team.

00:12:25.525 --> 00:12:27.652
And anyone who wanted
to play played.

00:12:27.652 --> 00:12:30.447
We don't really make cuts
or need to make cuts.

00:12:30.447 --> 00:12:32.491
So, I just want everybody
to come out

00:12:32.491 --> 00:12:35.035
and just try their best
and have fun with it.

00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:41.750
[Jayme] We have graduated
so many of our top kids

00:12:41.750 --> 00:12:43.585
in the last three years

00:12:43.585 --> 00:12:46.546
that we look nothing
like we did before...

00:12:46.546 --> 00:12:48.381
Push dribbles!

00:12:48.381 --> 00:12:51.218
I'm not going to give
a lot of instruction today

00:12:51.218 --> 00:12:52.677
on purpose.

00:12:52.677 --> 00:12:55.388
That's okay if you have no idea
what a push dribble is.

00:12:55.388 --> 00:12:57.224
...with the exception
of Ashley.

00:12:57.224 --> 00:12:59.768
We still have what I think
is the best player in the area.

00:13:01.228 --> 00:13:03.730
Let's not let the ball hit
the ground when we're finishing.

00:13:03.730 --> 00:13:05.273
That's not rebounding!

00:13:05.273 --> 00:13:08.652
Our goal every season
is to win League.

00:13:08.652 --> 00:13:12.697
Two years ago, our winning
League was, like, a given.

00:13:13.698 --> 00:13:16.993
This year, Ashley could score
40 points a night

00:13:16.993 --> 00:13:18.828
and we still may not win.

00:13:21.122 --> 00:13:22.582
Lord have mercy.

00:13:23.375 --> 00:13:24.751
Wow.

00:13:26.503 --> 00:13:30.882
This entire squad is
just so far behind.

00:13:30.882 --> 00:13:32.092
[woman] Mm-hmm.

00:13:32.926 --> 00:13:35.679
[Ashley] I tell Coach J
that I want to win CIF,

00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.472
but she doesn't think we can.

00:13:37.472 --> 00:13:40.934
Because everyone is just
too new to the sport.

00:13:40.934 --> 00:13:43.311
-Use the backboard.
-People ask me, like,

00:13:43.311 --> 00:13:46.690
"Do you think that you
can do this single-handedly?"

00:13:46.690 --> 00:13:47.732
I'm like, "Yeah, I can!"

00:13:49.025 --> 00:13:51.069
Ashley, you need to be
a little more vocal

00:13:51.069 --> 00:13:52.487
in getting my teams set up

00:13:52.487 --> 00:13:54.739
so that way we're not wasting
as much time.

00:13:54.739 --> 00:13:56.908
[Ashley] Being a captain
is kind of weird.

00:13:56.908 --> 00:13:59.911
I feel like last year
I didn't play at all,

00:13:59.911 --> 00:14:02.789
so I feel like
I'm still a sophomore

00:14:02.789 --> 00:14:04.791
in every aspect of life
right now.

00:14:04.791 --> 00:14:08.003
Okay, Ashley, I'll let you
explain to your team

00:14:08.670 --> 00:14:10.922
the principles
of what we're doing.

00:14:10.922 --> 00:14:12.424
-[girl] Huddle.
-[Jayme] Huddle your team up.

00:14:14.884 --> 00:14:16.094
[Kevin] You might want
to mix it up.

00:14:16.094 --> 00:14:17.262
[Jayme] You gotta learn.

00:14:17.846 --> 00:14:21.516
So, you see a line,
there's two people on defense.

00:14:21.516 --> 00:14:22.767
And then the other two...

00:14:22.767 --> 00:14:25.270
[Ashley] I'm just a bit nervous
because

00:14:25.270 --> 00:14:26.855
teammates that haven't
seen me play

00:14:26.855 --> 00:14:30.025
won't respect me
as a leader and as a captain.

00:14:30.942 --> 00:14:33.612
Yeah, so basically there's
two people on defense,

00:14:33.612 --> 00:14:35.280
the other team's coming
down three on two.

00:14:35.280 --> 00:14:38.158
So this is the point of
the third person running in

00:14:38.158 --> 00:14:39.951
once the other team
passes half court.

00:14:40.744 --> 00:14:43.997
-[Jayme] Four, three...
-[girls chattering]

00:14:43.997 --> 00:14:46.291
[buzzer sounds]

00:14:46.291 --> 00:14:48.752
Here we go, white and blue!

00:14:48.752 --> 00:14:51.630
Ashley, get in here!
Do your push-ups!

00:14:54.257 --> 00:14:55.342
Kev, you want to get her?

00:14:55.342 --> 00:14:57.010
‘Cause if I get her,
ain't gonna be pretty.

00:15:08.855 --> 00:15:09.898
[Kevin] Yeah, Ash!

00:15:14.444 --> 00:15:16.196
[Ashley] Fuck!

00:15:16.196 --> 00:15:18.073
-[whistle blows]
-Goddammit!

00:15:19.991 --> 00:15:21.576
Come on, Ash!

00:15:21.576 --> 00:15:23.286
You gotta finish, Ash!

00:15:23.286 --> 00:15:24.162
[upbeat melody plays]

00:15:25.246 --> 00:15:26.998
-[buzzer sounds]
-Fuck!

00:15:26.998 --> 00:15:28.667
[whistle blows]

00:15:28.667 --> 00:15:30.502
[Kevin] Last one, last one!

00:15:30.502 --> 00:15:31.753
Last one!

00:15:32.796 --> 00:15:34.005
Go, give it—!

00:15:34.798 --> 00:15:36.633
[Jayme] Run, Kaylie!

00:15:36.633 --> 00:15:38.510
Good, Cat, good, Cat!

00:15:38.510 --> 00:15:40.470
-Yes, Cat!
-[whistle blows]

00:15:40.470 --> 00:15:42.430
All right, Ash!

00:15:42.430 --> 00:15:44.099
Way to pass the basketball!

00:15:44.099 --> 00:15:47.268
[Ashley] Okay, so that girl
over there in the pink

00:15:47.268 --> 00:15:49.688
just mocked me,
and I cannot take that,

00:15:49.688 --> 00:15:51.940
-so I'm gonna—
-Going to be a captain

00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:54.317
-and let it go.
-No, because she mocked me.

00:15:55.235 --> 00:15:56.820
You're gonna get mocked
your entire life.

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:58.446
-Better get used to it.
-I don't like that.

00:15:58.446 --> 00:16:01.324
-I mock you on the daily.
-Okay, but she mocked me.

00:16:02.117 --> 00:16:04.619
-It's Wolfie time.
-[Jayme] Okay, get focused.

00:16:04.619 --> 00:16:06.413
-Go get the ball.
-Get focused.

00:16:06.413 --> 00:16:08.039
Go over there, over there.

00:16:10.166 --> 00:16:11.501
Here, here.

00:16:15.004 --> 00:16:17.549
-[people cheering, applauding]
-[Kevin] Yeah, Ash!

00:16:17.549 --> 00:16:19.467
[Ashley] She does not
mock me like that!

00:16:19.467 --> 00:16:22.095
[Jayme] Oh, my God.
Do you need a sub?

00:16:22.095 --> 00:16:23.596
Need to come out
and think about it?

00:16:23.596 --> 00:16:24.806
-[Ashley] No, I'm good.
-Sure?

00:16:24.806 --> 00:16:26.015
Yeah.

00:16:27.392 --> 00:16:29.102
[Jayme clapping]

00:16:30.854 --> 00:16:32.564
[Ashley] That girl pisses me off.

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.358
The girl in the purple.

00:16:35.358 --> 00:16:37.485
But that girl has no right
to say that to me.

00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:45.618
-[whistle blows]
-[girls cheering]

00:16:45.618 --> 00:16:47.746
[buzzer sounds]

00:16:47.746 --> 00:16:50.498
[announcer indistinct]

00:16:50.498 --> 00:16:52.917
[announcer] ...The final score,
Flintridge Prep Wolves 62,

00:16:52.917 --> 00:16:55.128
Mayfield Cubs 19.

00:17:02.218 --> 00:17:05.597
Everybody watching me,
they say that I'm...

00:17:05.597 --> 00:17:09.184
maybe a bad mom maybe
because missing the games,

00:17:09.184 --> 00:17:12.270
never go to the games,
never go to her school.

00:17:12.270 --> 00:17:14.773
But her school
or her even school...

00:17:15.607 --> 00:17:18.026
sometimes— Okay, maybe
I don't have time.

00:17:18.026 --> 00:17:20.820
And then one thing is,
when I go,

00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:23.573
I don't understand.
I don't understand.

00:17:23.573 --> 00:17:26.367
Sometimes they’re speaking,
I don't understand.

00:17:26.367 --> 00:17:28.411
So I miss it, yeah.

00:17:28.411 --> 00:17:30.580
Same thing Baov too,
sometimes he goes,

00:17:30.580 --> 00:17:32.040
but he don’t understand either

00:17:32.040 --> 00:17:34.584
Parent party, casino party,

00:17:34.584 --> 00:17:37.045
or whatever— a tea party.

00:17:37.045 --> 00:17:39.255
We never went there.

00:17:39.255 --> 00:17:41.132
Because we feel like...

00:17:42.675 --> 00:17:44.552
They too much like, um—

00:17:44.552 --> 00:17:46.387
What do you say, "high class"?

00:17:46.387 --> 00:17:49.724
They're like that, they're rich.
We're not.

00:18:35.436 --> 00:18:38.147
[Baov] This is
the only picture that I have.

00:18:38.523 --> 00:18:40.441
Everybody said
he looked like me.

00:18:40.441 --> 00:18:41.693
[family chattering]

00:18:41.693 --> 00:18:44.153
[dramatic melody plays]

00:18:50.410 --> 00:18:52.537
[crowd clamoring]

00:20:13.076 --> 00:20:14.410
[laughing] No, no!

00:20:14.410 --> 00:20:15.912
[in English]
Eating time!

00:20:16.579 --> 00:20:17.747
I need one more.

00:20:17.747 --> 00:20:19.707
[Family chats in Khmer]

00:20:29.676 --> 00:20:33.137
[in English] Oh, okay, so
there's one, two, three...

00:20:35.974 --> 00:20:38.643
[Speaks in Khmer]

00:20:38.643 --> 00:20:39.978
[in English]
Sorry!

00:20:43.272 --> 00:20:44.649
Hello!

00:20:44.649 --> 00:20:46.609
-Hello, Ashley.

00:21:00.915 --> 00:21:03.918
Sometimes at night,
I just get sad.

00:21:03.918 --> 00:21:07.588
Because all these, like,
thoughts just come into my head.

00:21:07.588 --> 00:21:08.840
Good and bad.

00:21:09.966 --> 00:21:13.428
Like, when I'm forcing myself
to be still,

00:21:13.428 --> 00:21:16.639
like right now, like normally
I would be moving around a lot

00:21:16.639 --> 00:21:19.308
and, like... not just
playing with this.

00:21:19.308 --> 00:21:22.228
I'll be playing with, like,
paper, I'll be rolling paper,

00:21:22.228 --> 00:21:25.565
and I'll be doing something
to get my mind off of things.

00:21:25.565 --> 00:21:28.192
But, like, at nighttime,
when I have to force myself

00:21:28.192 --> 00:21:31.487
to stay still
and not be on my phone...

00:21:32.780 --> 00:21:36.409
I don't know why, it's just,
I've always been like that.

00:21:36.409 --> 00:21:38.578
That's probably why, like,
I don't like—

00:21:38.578 --> 00:21:41.748
I don't like being alone.
I don't like having alone time.

00:21:42.874 --> 00:21:46.627
And, like, being around people,
all those thoughts just go away,

00:21:46.627 --> 00:21:48.171
if that makes sense.

00:21:51.507 --> 00:21:54.260
[girls yelling,
sneakers squeaking]

00:21:55.386 --> 00:21:57.096
[Kevin] Okay, hold on, hold on!

00:21:57.096 --> 00:22:00.892
20 got through without
much communication.

00:22:01.851 --> 00:22:03.770
Okay, we've gotta talk more.
Yeah?

00:22:03.770 --> 00:22:07.023
I... The words just couldn't
come out of my mouth.

00:22:07.023 --> 00:22:07.690
-[Kevin] Okay.

00:22:07.690 --> 00:22:09.150
-[Jayme] They have to come out
of your mouth

00:22:09.150 --> 00:22:10.526
or we're gonna be handed
another L.

00:22:10.526 --> 00:22:12.236
[Ashley] Yeah, she saw me
say it.

00:22:12.236 --> 00:22:14.322
-I know, but it's like—
-[Kevin] Okay.

00:22:14.322 --> 00:22:15.990
It's that problem that I have
or whatever.

00:22:15.990 --> 00:22:17.784
[Kevin] So if I—
Listen, listen!

00:22:17.784 --> 00:22:19.243
[Ashley] I start stuttering

00:22:19.243 --> 00:22:21.245
when I don't know
what to say next.

00:22:21.245 --> 00:22:22.830
[Jayme] All right, here we go.

00:22:23.623 --> 00:22:26.292
I don't, like, say exactly
what I have to say

00:22:26.292 --> 00:22:28.127
a lot of times,
especially in basketball

00:22:28.127 --> 00:22:30.546
when I want to tell
my teammates to do something.

00:22:32.131 --> 00:22:34.926
I usually only have stutters
with, like, words

00:22:34.926 --> 00:22:37.428
that start with, like, an "N"
or an "M,"

00:22:37.428 --> 00:22:39.764
a "T" or, like, a "W,"
or, like, a "B."

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:43.142
Like, sometimes when
I'm talking to people

00:22:43.142 --> 00:22:44.769
and then I can't say the words,

00:22:44.769 --> 00:22:48.314
sometimes people think
that I don't have, like,

00:22:48.314 --> 00:22:50.191
a high vocabulary or whatever.

00:22:50.858 --> 00:22:52.985
[girls chattering indistinctly]

00:22:57.698 --> 00:23:00.451
[Jayme] All right, welcome
to the season opener

00:23:00.451 --> 00:23:03.121
of the Flintridge Prep Wolves!

00:23:03.121 --> 00:23:07.333
At guard,
sophomore Kassidy Huie!

00:23:07.333 --> 00:23:10.294
Kassidy, right there, gray line,
perfect.

00:23:11.963 --> 00:23:15.091
Junior captain Ashley Chea!

00:23:15.091 --> 00:23:16.968
[all cheer, applaud]

00:23:16.968 --> 00:23:19.887
So we play Providence.
I think that that's the game

00:23:19.887 --> 00:23:21.639
my team and I are worried about
the most,

00:23:21.639 --> 00:23:26.310
because they have, like,
really experienced players.

00:23:26.310 --> 00:23:27.895
Tomorrow's a big day.

00:23:27.895 --> 00:23:30.064
Let's get after it, all right?

00:23:30.982 --> 00:23:33.025
Home court.
Home court tomorrow, guys.

00:23:33.025 --> 00:23:34.485
-Let's go.
-Yeah!

00:23:34.485 --> 00:23:37.238
[all giggle, exclaim]

00:23:37.238 --> 00:23:38.698
[all laughing]

00:23:38.698 --> 00:23:40.449
"Wolves" on three.
One, two, three!

00:23:40.449 --> 00:23:41.826
[all] Wolves!

00:23:43.077 --> 00:23:45.163
[music plays softly
over speakers]

00:23:47.540 --> 00:23:52.712
We're going in with
a very long winning streak

00:23:52.712 --> 00:23:56.174
that went over the course of...
since 2016, really.

00:23:57.008 --> 00:23:58.384
Switch sides!

00:23:58.384 --> 00:24:03.556
I think that there's definitely
a lot of pressure

00:24:03.556 --> 00:24:06.976
because of this streak,
even if we don't talk about it.

00:24:06.976 --> 00:24:09.020
[girls yelling indistinctly]

00:24:15.234 --> 00:24:17.028
-[Kevin] Yeah!
-[all applaud]

00:24:17.028 --> 00:24:18.529
[announcer over PA]
Ashley Chea!

00:24:19.739 --> 00:24:20.948
[Kevin] Where are you, Amadi?

00:24:20.948 --> 00:24:22.992
[crowd] Defense! Defense!

00:24:24.076 --> 00:24:25.494
-[crowd cheers]
-[Ashley] Fuck!

00:24:25.494 --> 00:24:27.330
[announcer speaks indistinctly]

00:24:27.330 --> 00:24:29.832
[Ashley] Kass, Kass! Kass!!

00:24:29.832 --> 00:24:31.083
-Fuck!
-[whistle blows]

00:24:31.083 --> 00:24:32.877
[announcer] Out of bounds.

00:24:32.877 --> 00:24:34.545
[chanting] D up! D up! D up!

00:24:34.545 --> 00:24:36.464
[Kevin] Good job, Kass!

00:24:36.464 --> 00:24:38.341
[crowd cheers]

00:24:41.677 --> 00:24:42.720
[Ashley grunts]

00:24:44.430 --> 00:24:45.681
[whistle blows]

00:24:45.681 --> 00:24:47.600
[Kevin] Come on, girls!
Communicate!

00:24:47.600 --> 00:24:49.393
That's our rebound!

00:24:50.937 --> 00:24:52.230
Come on, Ash!

00:24:52.230 --> 00:24:54.023
[dramatic melody plays]

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:58.402
[Jayme] Give Maddie the ball.

00:24:58.402 --> 00:25:00.321
Can we give Maddie the ball?

00:25:00.321 --> 00:25:02.657
[Flintridge players applaud]

00:25:02.657 --> 00:25:04.992
If I pass the ball, I won't—
I won't— [panting]

00:25:04.992 --> 00:25:06.535
Trust your teammates.
You'll get it back.

00:25:06.535 --> 00:25:08.454
Trust your teammates,
you'll get it back.

00:25:12.667 --> 00:25:15.294
[Jayme] If Ashley ends up taking
99 percent of shots,

00:25:15.294 --> 00:25:16.921
we're gonna be in trouble.

00:25:18.047 --> 00:25:19.465
[girl] Pass, pass!

00:25:21.467 --> 00:25:22.718
[whistle blows]

00:25:24.303 --> 00:25:26.806
Listen to me.
You have two fouls.

00:25:26.806 --> 00:25:28.891
No fouls in the next minute
and a half. I don't care.

00:25:28.891 --> 00:25:30.059
I don't care
if she gets two points,

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:31.060
I don't care
if she gets four points.

00:25:31.060 --> 00:25:32.853
It's not worth
another foul for you.

00:25:32.853 --> 00:25:34.897
-You understand me?
-[buzzer sounds]

00:25:36.148 --> 00:25:37.775
[Kevin] We set out
to have a goal,

00:25:37.775 --> 00:25:39.360
and the goal is to win
League.

00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:40.861
Doesn't happen without tonight.

00:25:41.946 --> 00:25:44.115
Everything else gets
thrown out the window.

00:25:44.115 --> 00:25:45.908
The only thing
we're thinking about

00:25:45.908 --> 00:25:47.410
is taking care of business.

00:25:47.410 --> 00:25:50.705
This half of the basketball game
is really all that matters.

00:25:53.708 --> 00:25:57.211
Your word, both, for
the second half is "composure."

00:25:57.211 --> 00:26:00.339
"Composure." We're going
to be totally in control

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:02.258
of our emotions, okay?
Composure.

00:26:02.258 --> 00:26:04.427
All right? Let's go, babies.
We got this.

00:26:05.303 --> 00:26:06.554
[girls chanting] D up, D up,
D up!

00:26:06.554 --> 00:26:07.680
[rhythmic pounding]

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.932
-D up!
-[crowd cheers]

00:26:09.932 --> 00:26:11.309
[Kevin] That's all right!

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:21.777
-[Kevin] Ashley!
-[Jayme] Ashley!

00:26:21.777 --> 00:26:24.196
He just tech’d you,
he just tech’d you, come on

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.701
A technical foul
is a personal foul.

00:26:28.701 --> 00:26:30.870
-You have four fouls now.
-[buzzer sounds]

00:26:32.788 --> 00:26:34.290
[Kevin] A teaching moment.

00:26:37.418 --> 00:26:39.628
That's great,
but you got a technical foul.

00:26:39.628 --> 00:26:41.922
That gave you your third foul,
now this is your fourth foul,

00:26:41.922 --> 00:26:43.591
and we have a whole quarter
to play.

00:26:43.591 --> 00:26:45.343
I'm glad you had
something important to say.

00:26:45.343 --> 00:26:47.970
You're gonna have to find
moments to communicate that.

00:26:47.970 --> 00:26:50.014
Do you hear me, Ash?

00:26:50.014 --> 00:26:52.975
You've gotta stop blaming
Coach Kev and everybody else

00:26:52.975 --> 00:26:54.852
for not listening when
you wanted to say something.

00:26:54.852 --> 00:26:56.312
You've gotta let that go.

00:26:56.312 --> 00:26:59.273
They scored seven points
I had to say something.

00:26:59.273 --> 00:27:03.944
And when you said something,
is that gonna stop the run?

00:27:03.944 --> 00:27:06.238
[Ashley] They put 11
in the middle, and then—

00:27:06.238 --> 00:27:08.282
-They did.
-And they put 20 over there.

00:27:08.282 --> 00:27:10.785
So every time I go up,
they always had—

00:27:10.785 --> 00:27:11.327
-Right.

00:27:11.327 --> 00:27:12.495
-They scored seven
points because of that.

00:27:12.495 --> 00:27:15.206
Right. And Coach Kevin
was addressing that.

00:27:15.956 --> 00:27:19.126
Your team is all over the place
trying to do this for you.

00:27:23.297 --> 00:27:25.966
-[Ashley] Can I go back in?
-You didn't tell me.

00:27:25.966 --> 00:27:27.968
Can you do it without fouling?

00:27:29.929 --> 00:27:31.555
[crying] I'll try.

00:27:31.555 --> 00:27:33.140
Ashley, you don't understand.

00:27:33.808 --> 00:27:35.810
The W doesn't matter anymore.

00:27:35.810 --> 00:27:38.187
What matters is that
we don't lose this team.

00:27:38.187 --> 00:27:40.606
What matters is that
they don't lose faith in you

00:27:40.606 --> 00:27:43.150
and they don't lose faith
in each other.

00:27:43.150 --> 00:27:46.070
What matters is that you learn
something from this moment.

00:27:46.070 --> 00:27:47.530
That's what matters.

00:27:50.116 --> 00:27:51.534
[whistle blows]

00:27:51.534 --> 00:27:53.702
She's getting herself ready.
Getting herself ready.

00:27:53.702 --> 00:27:55.746
[Kevin] Compose, compose,
compose.

00:27:56.372 --> 00:27:58.457
[girls chanting] Defense!
Defense!

00:27:58.457 --> 00:28:00.918
Defense! Defense!
-[Jayme] No offensive fouls.

00:28:02.002 --> 00:28:03.129
[crowd cheers]

00:28:06.132 --> 00:28:08.217
[Kevin] That's the one we want!

00:28:11.429 --> 00:28:12.972
Brick! Brick!

00:28:12.972 --> 00:28:16.308
Yeah! We ain't going nowhere!

00:28:16.308 --> 00:28:19.311
Sit down!
I'm proud of you girls.

00:28:19.311 --> 00:28:21.939
Your leader needed to
take some time to catch herself,

00:28:21.939 --> 00:28:23.732
and you guys held it down.

00:28:23.732 --> 00:28:26.318
[girls chanting] Defense!
Defense! Defense!

00:28:28.070 --> 00:28:29.530
[crowd cheers]

00:28:31.449 --> 00:28:33.742
[Kevin] You're a shooter!
Let's go!

00:28:35.786 --> 00:28:37.246
Come on, Maddie, this is you!

00:28:38.998 --> 00:28:40.458
Oh!

00:28:40.458 --> 00:28:43.252
Yeah! Yeah!

00:28:44.628 --> 00:28:46.630
[triumphant melody plays]

00:28:47.673 --> 00:28:49.925
-[Jayme] Defense!
-[Kevin] Legal!

00:28:51.385 --> 00:28:53.179
[crowd cheers]

00:28:53.179 --> 00:28:56.140
It's about being disciplined
right now, for a minute-thirty.

00:28:57.558 --> 00:28:59.143
Okay? And then we'll live with—

00:28:59.143 --> 00:29:01.020
We'll live with
whatever happens, right?

00:29:18.787 --> 00:29:19.830
-[Kevin] Shot!
-[buzzer]

00:29:19.830 --> 00:29:21.582
-[whistle blows]
-[crowd cheers]

00:29:22.458 --> 00:29:24.877
[announcer speaks
indistinctly over PA]

00:29:26.003 --> 00:29:28.422
[Kevin] Right here.
Hold your composure.

00:29:28.422 --> 00:29:32.051
You go up. Hold your composure.
You go up. Let's go.

00:29:32.843 --> 00:29:34.094
[Ashley] "Wolves" on three.

00:29:34.094 --> 00:29:35.471
-One, two, three.
-[all] Wolves!

00:29:52.988 --> 00:29:54.532
I was gonna call and
check on you last night,

00:29:54.532 --> 00:29:56.909
but I felt it was better
to give you space.

00:29:58.035 --> 00:30:01.038
Figured you would reach out
to me if you needed me.

00:30:01.038 --> 00:30:01.914
Yeah, I was just...

00:30:02.331 --> 00:30:05.084
I didn’t really talk
to anybody yesterday, so...

00:30:05.376 --> 00:30:07.211
That's okay.

00:30:07.211 --> 00:30:08.879
That's why I didn't call.

00:30:08.879 --> 00:30:11.757
Because you know, right,
you can just always call me.

00:30:15.886 --> 00:30:17.555
Come on, ladies, clean it up!

00:30:21.100 --> 00:30:23.102
All right, captains,
you have anything for us?

00:30:23.102 --> 00:30:24.812
I just wanted to say
that I'm sorry

00:30:24.812 --> 00:30:27.731
for not being the captain
that you guys wanted me to be

00:30:27.731 --> 00:30:31.318
since the—
since the beginning, and, um,

00:30:31.318 --> 00:30:35.489
I'm working really hard
to try and get to that point,

00:30:35.489 --> 00:30:38.033
but I just want to say
that you guys all...

00:30:38.033 --> 00:30:42.580
did rea— did r-really good, um,
like, collectively,

00:30:42.580 --> 00:30:45.666
and you guys all helped the team
in one way or another,

00:30:45.666 --> 00:30:47.209
so good job.

00:30:48.168 --> 00:30:50.254
[Jayme] It is a new day.

00:30:50.254 --> 00:30:53.382
Absolutely.
It is a new day, all right?

00:30:53.382 --> 00:30:55.259
Okay, here we go,
let's get after it.

00:30:56.594 --> 00:30:58.637
Thanks, Ash, that was awesome.

00:30:58.637 --> 00:30:59.930
[Ashley] "Wolves" on three.

00:30:59.930 --> 00:31:01.265
-One, two, three.
-[all] Wolves!

00:31:02.391 --> 00:31:05.019
[indistinct chatter, cheering]

00:31:07.813 --> 00:31:10.357
[Ashley] When I think
of basketball, I think of...

00:31:11.108 --> 00:31:13.444
my dad first,
because he's the one

00:31:13.444 --> 00:31:15.529
that taught me
how to play basketball.

00:31:15.529 --> 00:31:17.406
[dramatic melody plays]

00:31:18.032 --> 00:31:21.285
He had a basketball game
at a local park,

00:31:21.285 --> 00:31:24.830
and during halftime,
I shot the ball there.

00:31:24.830 --> 00:31:28.083
And I made my second attempt,
and then I told myself

00:31:28.083 --> 00:31:29.668
that, like,
"This sport's so easy.

00:31:29.668 --> 00:31:32.046
I don't even know
why people think it's so hard."

00:31:41.388 --> 00:31:43.766
[TV announcer] The Bulls open,
scoring first.

00:31:43.766 --> 00:31:48.562
1994, '95, I think Orlando
Magic and Chicago Bulls,

00:31:48.562 --> 00:31:50.606
I was watching
on the semifinal.

00:31:50.606 --> 00:31:53.400
Me and my brother,
after they finished,

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.570
we get a basket,
but there's no board.

00:31:56.570 --> 00:31:57.946
And we make one.

00:31:58.781 --> 00:32:00.199
That's how I started.

00:32:02.409 --> 00:32:03.952
One of my wife’s friends,

00:32:03.952 --> 00:32:06.330
her friend said, "Oh, the girls
cannot play basketball.

00:32:06.330 --> 00:32:09.124
Why do you let your daughter
play basketball?"

00:32:09.124 --> 00:32:12.878
I think, "Why? Anybody can play
basketball here," you know?

00:32:14.004 --> 00:32:16.215
All I do is just training
with her...

00:32:17.049 --> 00:32:20.260
from 5:00 to 8:00 every day,
Monday through Friday.

00:32:20.260 --> 00:32:23.055
Doesn't matter
if the gym's closed.

00:32:23.055 --> 00:32:25.557
We come home, raining day,

00:32:25.557 --> 00:32:27.685
she's dribbling in the garage.

00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:30.896
"Make sure you've got
a good handle,

00:32:30.896 --> 00:32:34.441
and maybe one day
that you're going to college."

00:32:34.441 --> 00:32:36.110
She never complained.

00:32:36.110 --> 00:32:38.487
Never want to go
to, like, Disneyland,

00:32:38.487 --> 00:32:39.947
never asked that.

00:32:41.907 --> 00:32:45.452
[Ashley] My dad played
in this league called Mofufus.

00:32:45.452 --> 00:32:47.996
And then the ref came up
to him while I was shooting

00:32:47.996 --> 00:32:50.290
during halftime and was like,

00:32:50.290 --> 00:32:52.626
"Hey, do you want your daughter
to play on a small club team?"

00:32:52.626 --> 00:32:54.253
And it was for Asian Ball.

00:32:54.962 --> 00:32:56.839
I didn't know that, like, that

00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.007
there was a league
just for Asians.

00:32:59.007 --> 00:33:02.553
So I was, like,
super confused at first.

00:33:04.054 --> 00:33:06.682
[man] Asian American Ball
is fantastic

00:33:06.682 --> 00:33:08.475
for fundamentals and teamwork.

00:33:08.475 --> 00:33:10.686
The Asians teach,

00:33:10.686 --> 00:33:12.354
and that's
a big, big difference.

00:33:12.563 --> 00:33:15.065
You have the Parks and Rec,
and it's a joke

00:33:15.065 --> 00:33:17.109
because they really
don't teach.

00:33:17.109 --> 00:33:18.610
This is Parks and Rec.

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:20.654
This is J Ball.

00:33:21.572 --> 00:33:22.906
This is Club Ball.

00:33:23.991 --> 00:33:26.744
So if you can play well
up here,

00:33:26.744 --> 00:33:28.787
this is where all the colleges
are going.

00:33:30.414 --> 00:33:34.042
When I first met Ashley,
you knew right away.

00:33:34.042 --> 00:33:37.337
She was the best ball handler
in Southern California.

00:33:38.964 --> 00:33:41.175
[Ashley] In fourth
or fifth grade,

00:33:41.175 --> 00:33:46.597
I was playing
with my all-Asian team, SGV.

00:33:46.597 --> 00:33:48.891
We were about to play
this team,

00:33:48.891 --> 00:33:50.851
and we walked past them,

00:33:50.851 --> 00:33:53.020
and this one girl was like,

00:33:53.645 --> 00:33:55.647
"Look,
it's the ching-chong team.

00:33:55.647 --> 00:33:58.650
They should go back
to wherever they came from."

00:33:58.650 --> 00:34:01.320
And surprisingly, all of us
were born in California.

00:34:02.654 --> 00:34:04.615
We ended up playing them.

00:34:04.615 --> 00:34:08.118
And in the first five minutes,
we were up by 15.

00:34:08.118 --> 00:34:10.871
After that, every other team
we played in that tournament

00:34:10.871 --> 00:34:11.872
respected us.

00:34:13.165 --> 00:34:16.210
I just know that,
like, Asian Americans

00:34:16.210 --> 00:34:18.712
get, like, looked down upon
off any sport,

00:34:18.712 --> 00:34:19.922
but especially basketball.

00:34:21.673 --> 00:34:25.052
All the coaches I've ever had
in my life has told me that.

00:34:25.052 --> 00:34:26.887
Every college coach,
every high school coach

00:34:26.887 --> 00:34:28.305
will never choose me first.

00:34:30.474 --> 00:34:32.935
I mean, that broke me down
for a while.

00:34:32.935 --> 00:34:34.520
I had months where

00:34:34.520 --> 00:34:36.522
I didn't even want to 
play basketball anymore.

00:34:36.522 --> 00:34:38.899
But that was the only thing
that would keep me happy.

00:34:44.196 --> 00:34:47.032
[Jayme] Right? So yesterday
we covered shooting,

00:34:47.032 --> 00:34:50.494
and today we are going
to cover passing.

00:34:50.494 --> 00:34:53.747
[Jayme] I started playing
basketball at a very young age.

00:34:53.747 --> 00:34:55.666
So I was probably about seven.

00:34:57.709 --> 00:35:00.712
We come from a big family
of Kiyomura kids,

00:35:00.712 --> 00:35:02.297
12 first cousins,

00:35:02.297 --> 00:35:04.716
and every single one of them
played

00:35:04.716 --> 00:35:08.178
in Japanese American
basketball.

00:35:08.178 --> 00:35:10.097
[dramatic melody plays]

00:35:12.266 --> 00:35:14.101
Japanese Americans have been
playing basketball

00:35:14.101 --> 00:35:17.688
for a really long time here,
like over 100 years.

00:35:23.277 --> 00:35:25.279
They continued to play
during World War II

00:35:25.279 --> 00:35:27.781
inside of
the incarceration camps.

00:35:37.291 --> 00:35:39.251
Post-World War II,

00:35:39.251 --> 00:35:42.504
where Japanese people
weren't allowed

00:35:42.504 --> 00:35:45.424
to play publicly
with everybody else,

00:35:45.424 --> 00:35:47.426
and so they formed
these leagues.

00:35:56.476 --> 00:35:58.562
When I watch the little girls
play today,

00:35:58.562 --> 00:36:01.607
with their shiny,
brand-new uniforms

00:36:01.607 --> 00:36:04.026
and their brand-new
Nike backpacks,

00:36:04.026 --> 00:36:06.403
and they're wearing Jordans
on their feet...

00:36:07.195 --> 00:36:11.158
I see, like, all of
the little girls before them.

00:36:11.158 --> 00:36:14.036
Like the ones that, like,
probably played in zōris,

00:36:14.036 --> 00:36:17.497
had a ball that was
probably half-deflated.

00:36:19.291 --> 00:36:21.126
We've touched so many people.

00:36:21.752 --> 00:36:24.755
We touched
a little Cambodian girl.

00:36:25.505 --> 00:36:27.090
That's the beauty
of our league.

00:36:27.090 --> 00:36:29.760
Like, in a place where they
were discriminated against

00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:31.178
because they couldn't play,

00:36:31.178 --> 00:36:33.555
they were like, "Oh, okay.

00:36:33.555 --> 00:36:35.140
Not Japanese? That's okay."

00:36:36.725 --> 00:36:38.644
They wanted all Asians
to play.

00:36:38.644 --> 00:36:39.853
-[children] Two!
-[Jayme] Three!

00:36:39.853 --> 00:36:41.438
-[children] Four!
-Five!

00:36:41.438 --> 00:36:42.940
-[children] Six!
-Seven!

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:44.691
-[children] Eight!
-Nine!

00:36:54.409 --> 00:36:56.662
This is my first time
driving alone, Kendall.

00:36:56.662 --> 00:36:58.455
-[over phone] Is it really?
-Yeah.

00:36:58.455 --> 00:37:00.374
-Call me later.
-Okay, bye.

00:37:00.374 --> 00:37:02.668
Oh, I'm so excited!

00:37:15.305 --> 00:37:17.891
I want to live on a farm
where there's no one around,

00:37:17.891 --> 00:37:19.601
like no other houses around me.

00:37:19.601 --> 00:37:22.896
And I want two horses,
because if my friend comes over,

00:37:22.896 --> 00:37:24.690
they can just ride the horse
with me.

00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:27.776
There's so many things
I want to...

00:37:27.776 --> 00:37:29.987
Like, I've seen a house
that has all of this,

00:37:30.779 --> 00:37:32.364
like, on the Internet,

00:37:32.364 --> 00:37:35.450
so it's like a big farmhouse
type of thing.

00:37:35.450 --> 00:37:37.744
But, yeah.

00:37:37.744 --> 00:37:41.581
Like, stocks is really catching
my eye,

00:37:41.581 --> 00:37:43.750
but that— they're hit or miss,
you know?

00:37:46.795 --> 00:37:48.380
But I don't know. We'll see.

00:37:48.380 --> 00:37:50.632
I still don't know
what I want to do with my life.

00:37:59.975 --> 00:38:02.644
[Jayme] Are coaches calling
you directly yet? Okay.

00:38:02.644 --> 00:38:05.147
So if they're not yet,
they will be soon.

00:38:05.772 --> 00:38:10.527
Now, when Ashley goes
and visits her top schools,

00:38:10.527 --> 00:38:13.822
like, she finally decides,
"Okay, after these home visits,

00:38:13.822 --> 00:38:17.325
after building relationships
over the phone,

00:38:17.325 --> 00:38:19.244
these are the schools I like,"

00:38:19.244 --> 00:38:23.165
she can only go to maximum
five official visits.

00:38:23.165 --> 00:38:25.375
Those are gonna probably happen

00:38:25.375 --> 00:38:27.711
just as soon
as this club season is over.

00:38:28.128 --> 00:38:30.964
It's a pleasure to meet you,
to meet your family,

00:38:30.964 --> 00:38:32.674
thank you
for hopping on the call.

00:38:32.674 --> 00:38:33.383
I know you're in between

00:38:33.383 --> 00:38:34.426
naps and work,

00:38:34.426 --> 00:38:36.136
so I really do
appreciate your time.

00:38:36.136 --> 00:38:38.346
I know this process is

00:38:38.346 --> 00:38:40.265
ever-changing
and ongoing,

00:38:40.265 --> 00:38:42.225
um, but— And I know—

00:38:42.225 --> 00:38:44.561
Ash is still trying to navigate

00:38:44.561 --> 00:38:46.063
kind of what she wants,

00:38:46.063 --> 00:38:46.938
what she likes.

00:38:46.938 --> 00:38:48.690
I don't know how much
you know about Harvard,

00:38:48.690 --> 00:38:50.025
but it's Harvard.

00:38:50.025 --> 00:38:52.903
It is an opportunity
that will change her life,

00:38:52.903 --> 00:38:54.613
uh, you know, forever.

00:38:54.613 --> 00:38:57.616
She's not, like,
super, super smart.

00:38:57.616 --> 00:38:59.993
It's just okay.
I don't think that—

00:38:59.993 --> 00:39:05.540
I don't know if she is able to
get the good grades in school.

00:39:08.752 --> 00:39:12.339
I think that I have
a lot better relationship

00:39:12.339 --> 00:39:14.174
with my dad
than I do with my mom.

00:39:14.174 --> 00:39:16.968
Like, one time I got
an F on a quiz,

00:39:16.968 --> 00:39:19.429
and then I told her,

00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:21.515
and she was like,
"I'm glad you told me,

00:39:21.515 --> 00:39:23.683
but now you're grounded."

00:39:23.683 --> 00:39:26.478
So if I tell her, there's
always going to be a punishment.

00:39:28.021 --> 00:39:31.024
And so I don't feel comfortable
enough to tell her anything

00:39:31.024 --> 00:39:32.567
that's going on in my life.

00:39:33.568 --> 00:39:36.113
I don't know. A lot of things
happened in the past,

00:39:36.113 --> 00:39:37.697
and it's like...

00:39:37.697 --> 00:39:42.869
I don't know why, I just can't
get myself to forgive that.

00:39:46.373 --> 00:39:49.042
And I don't know if that's
just me being really petty.

00:39:55.090 --> 00:39:57.342
[Lida] My mom raised me
in Cambodia,

00:39:57.342 --> 00:40:00.846
and I raised Ashley in here,
so everything is different.

00:40:02.681 --> 00:40:05.225
Pull it— pull it back
just a little bit. There we go.

00:40:06.309 --> 00:40:09.980
[Lida] My mom, my dad, they
never tell, "Oh, I love you,"

00:40:09.980 --> 00:40:12.983
or, "Mom loves you"
or something, no.

00:40:14.776 --> 00:40:18.280
We give Ashley a lot of love,
but we just don't show.

00:40:23.785 --> 00:40:27.914
[Jayme] Coming from the cultures
that we come from

00:40:27.914 --> 00:40:30.125
as Asian Americans, like,

00:40:30.125 --> 00:40:34.504
we don't hug or show, really,
that kind of affection.

00:40:34.504 --> 00:40:38.842
We show affection
by getting on our children

00:40:38.842 --> 00:40:42.012
to excel at everything
that they do.

00:40:43.096 --> 00:40:46.558
That's our way of telling them
that we love them.

00:40:46.558 --> 00:40:51.229
It's hard because
we're not in Asia.

00:40:51.229 --> 00:40:55.692
Like, everything that we see
around us is American.

00:40:55.692 --> 00:40:58.111
It's different.
And so when you—

00:40:58.111 --> 00:41:04.618
Your parents aren't the way
that you see other parents.

00:41:04.618 --> 00:41:05.744
It's difficult.

00:41:06.703 --> 00:41:10.498
If she remained in a school
that there were more like her,

00:41:10.498 --> 00:41:13.835
it would be less obvious
that she's different.

00:41:13.835 --> 00:41:17.923
But she's at Prep,
she's on a club team

00:41:17.923 --> 00:41:21.134
that costs thousands of dollars
to participate on,

00:41:21.134 --> 00:41:23.511
so there are not
a lot of people like her.

00:41:23.511 --> 00:41:25.805
So I think
that's where the frustration,

00:41:25.805 --> 00:41:29.768
the animosity, the anger,
the resentment comes from,

00:41:29.768 --> 00:41:35.440
is, "Why aren't we
like everybody else?

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:39.152
We can't we be quote-unquote
'normal'?"

00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:42.864
You're an absolutely normal
first-generation American.

00:41:42.864 --> 00:41:44.324
This is what we go through.

00:41:46.117 --> 00:41:48.203
It's just the process
she has to go through.

00:41:48.203 --> 00:41:49.496
I can't speed it up for her.

00:41:51.831 --> 00:41:53.708
I couldn't speed it up for me.

00:41:57.420 --> 00:42:00.131
-You have coffee, honey, for me?
-[Jayme] Sure.

00:42:00.131 --> 00:42:04.386
Oh, let me see what else
I'm going to do here.

00:42:04.386 --> 00:42:07.055
[Jayme] Do you want
to watch the video?

00:42:07.055 --> 00:42:09.516
Of the quinceañera? Yeah.

00:42:09.516 --> 00:42:11.893
[music plays on TV]

00:42:13.186 --> 00:42:15.647
Oh, that's a cute picture!

00:42:16.481 --> 00:42:17.857
Oh, there I am!

00:42:18.817 --> 00:42:21.987
[Jayme] My mom and I have
been through, like, so much.

00:42:21.987 --> 00:42:23.655
And I think on so many levels,

00:42:23.655 --> 00:42:27.284
that's why I can relate
with Ashley.

00:42:28.451 --> 00:42:30.120
[laughing]

00:42:30.120 --> 00:42:32.956
She just had a moment,
she was just like, "I'm sorry."

00:42:32.956 --> 00:42:35.875
Like, "I wasn't a good mom.

00:42:35.875 --> 00:42:37.919
I only went to see
two of your games.

00:42:37.919 --> 00:42:39.671
You go
to all of your kids' games."

00:42:39.671 --> 00:42:41.881
I said,
"I go to all of my kids' games

00:42:41.881 --> 00:42:44.217
because of the sacrifice
you made for me."

00:42:44.217 --> 00:42:47.721
I can only understand now
as a mother

00:42:47.721 --> 00:42:51.933
the internal conflict
that she must've had every day

00:42:51.933 --> 00:42:53.560
and the guilt

00:42:53.560 --> 00:42:56.104
to be sitting here
helping me fold laundry

00:42:56.104 --> 00:43:00.233
and apologizing to me that
she didn't come to my games.

00:43:00.233 --> 00:43:02.277
[dramatic melody plays]

00:43:05.822 --> 00:43:08.283
She literally poured
every ounce

00:43:08.283 --> 00:43:10.577
of what she had
into my brother and I.

00:43:11.745 --> 00:43:14.497
And growing up,
I was still just so resentful.

00:43:14.497 --> 00:43:18.001
Like, I was just so pissed off
all the time,

00:43:18.001 --> 00:43:21.379
why, like, she couldn't
just go on field trips

00:43:21.379 --> 00:43:22.881
like the rest of the moms.

00:43:22.881 --> 00:43:25.133
Why my friends couldn't
come over after school.

00:43:25.133 --> 00:43:27.093
And my mom was like,
"You can't come over

00:43:27.093 --> 00:43:29.846
because there's nobody watching you.
I can't be responsible." 

00:43:31.014 --> 00:43:33.475
I should've been more grateful.

00:43:33.475 --> 00:43:35.060
But just...

00:43:35.894 --> 00:43:37.854
gratitude is a hard thing.

00:43:37.854 --> 00:43:40.106
[speaking in Spanish]

00:43:42.150 --> 00:43:46.237
My mom being Latina,
she didn't do silence.

00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:49.366
[Jayme] I'm joking, geez!

00:43:49.366 --> 00:43:50.867
You didn't sound like
you were joking.

00:43:50.867 --> 00:43:52.577
In the shouting,

00:43:52.577 --> 00:43:54.913
we were still communicating.

00:43:54.913 --> 00:43:56.498
It would've been
much more difficult

00:43:56.498 --> 00:43:58.875
if it was just silence.

00:44:01.503 --> 00:44:03.088
[dog barks]

00:44:08.301 --> 00:44:09.552
[knocks softly]

00:44:09.552 --> 00:44:10.762
Ashley?

00:44:14.474 --> 00:44:16.476
It's 7:35.

00:44:24.442 --> 00:44:26.194
[line ringing]

00:44:28.822 --> 00:44:32.075
-[phone chimes]
-Good morning.

00:44:32.075 --> 00:44:33.993
Hey.

00:44:33.993 --> 00:44:36.538
Oh, okay, outfit, okay?
Outfit time.

00:44:36.538 --> 00:44:39.290
So I'm worried about
the blue one.

00:44:39.290 --> 00:44:41.751
And then the jean shorts,
I want to know.

00:44:41.751 --> 00:44:43.920
But what necklace
do I wear today?

00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:45.922
-Which one do you have on right now?
-The dolphin one.

00:44:45.922 --> 00:44:48.550
But I think it's too small.
I don't know. Can you see that?

00:44:49.384 --> 00:44:50.802
All right, I have to go.

00:44:50.802 --> 00:44:52.846
-Bye, love you.
-Bye, love you. Bye.

00:44:52.846 --> 00:44:53.805
[phone chimes]

00:44:54.764 --> 00:44:57.725
Today's the last day of school.
I have finals still,

00:44:57.725 --> 00:45:00.061
but this is the only week
my whole entire summer

00:45:00.061 --> 00:45:02.021
that I don't have basketball.

00:45:05.233 --> 00:45:07.861
I mean, I guess I never
really liked school that much.

00:45:07.861 --> 00:45:11.281
Like, I told Coach J I wasn't
going to go to an Ivy League,

00:45:11.281 --> 00:45:12.866
I know for a fact.

00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:16.411
I grew up thinking
people who go to Ivy League,

00:45:16.411 --> 00:45:17.579
they're just nerds.

00:45:22.083 --> 00:45:23.751
This is my dream house.
Like, I—

00:45:23.751 --> 00:45:26.171
Me and my friends
love this house.

00:45:27.797 --> 00:45:31.092
It's just like modern farmhouse.
I love that type of thing.

00:45:31.092 --> 00:45:33.136
It's so nice.

00:45:35.430 --> 00:45:38.433
-Go kill that test now.
-I will. I will, yeah.

00:45:45.899 --> 00:45:47.775
-[Jayme] How'd it go?
-It was fine.

00:45:47.775 --> 00:45:50.195
I finished Chem
in like 30 minutes.

00:45:50.195 --> 00:45:51.863
Oh, yeah, that's good.

00:45:52.697 --> 00:45:54.532
Are you hungry?
You want to eat first,

00:45:54.532 --> 00:45:57.744
or do you want to open
your birthday present?

00:45:57.744 --> 00:45:59.704
-Open my birthday present.
-Okay.

00:46:02.665 --> 00:46:05.001
I actually have no idea
what it is. I have— I don't.

00:46:07.462 --> 00:46:08.796
Aw!

00:46:08.796 --> 00:46:10.673
Oh, my God!

00:46:12.717 --> 00:46:15.136
-It fits perfectly, I think.
-Yay!

00:46:15.136 --> 00:46:17.263
-Nice.
-[conversation fades]

00:46:18.473 --> 00:46:20.475
-This is good. You want some?
-You'll get used to it.

00:46:20.475 --> 00:46:21.976
-No, I can't.
-It's super sweet.

00:46:21.976 --> 00:46:24.062
My blood sugar's too high.

00:46:25.396 --> 00:46:27.273
I know. Okay.

00:46:27.273 --> 00:46:30.235
This is her first time
having poke bowl, first of all.

00:46:30.235 --> 00:46:33.488
And then she asked
for everything on it.

00:46:33.488 --> 00:46:34.948
I didn't know
it was gonna look bad.

00:46:34.948 --> 00:46:36.658
So I literally put
everything on it.

00:46:37.784 --> 00:46:41.412
Okay, so that is a real thing.
That's not where you're at.

00:46:41.412 --> 00:46:42.914
-Did you like it?
-Yeah, I do.

00:46:42.914 --> 00:46:45.583
-I'm eating, like, all of it.
-Good job!

00:46:48.419 --> 00:46:51.839
Just go wherever you think
you'll be the happiest.

00:46:51.839 --> 00:46:53.466
[Jayme] Oh, good advice.

00:46:53.466 --> 00:46:55.218
-Like, when you pick.
-Mm-hmm.

00:46:55.218 --> 00:46:58.388
And then, like, go somewhere
where you can actually, like,

00:46:58.388 --> 00:47:01.307
see yourself getting along
with the people there.

00:47:01.307 --> 00:47:02.725
And especially your teammates,

00:47:02.725 --> 00:47:05.687
'cause you spend
so much time with them.

00:47:05.687 --> 00:47:09.607
Okay, what about—
Where do you want to be? Like...

00:47:09.607 --> 00:47:11.693
-[Ashley] Not in California.
-Not in California?

00:47:12.443 --> 00:47:14.821
I don't want to send you
to an area that's like,

00:47:14.821 --> 00:47:16.864
there aren't that many Asians.

00:47:16.864 --> 00:47:19.701
Like, that's just so—
like you're the unicorn.

00:47:19.701 --> 00:47:22.203
-I'll be fine with that.
-I know you will be,

00:47:22.203 --> 00:47:24.622
and I think the people
around you will be.

00:47:24.622 --> 00:47:26.624
-Uh-huh.
-I just don't know, like,

00:47:26.624 --> 00:47:28.543
the climate.

00:47:28.543 --> 00:47:30.670
Like the surrounding area.

00:47:30.670 --> 00:47:33.423
Sometimes you can go
and you can see something

00:47:33.423 --> 00:47:35.049
and be like,
"That seems normal."

00:47:35.049 --> 00:47:37.176
Then you're living there
and end up at a Denny's,

00:47:37.176 --> 00:47:38.636
and it's not normal.

00:47:53.109 --> 00:47:55.194
[Ashley] I was really stressed
about coming back

00:47:55.194 --> 00:47:56.654
and playing basketball
with the club

00:47:56.654 --> 00:47:58.948
because I haven't played
in so long.

00:47:58.948 --> 00:48:01.951
The last game I played with
the club was literally two years ago.

00:48:02.827 --> 00:48:06.539
I feel like my worthiness
as a player has gone down.

00:48:06.539 --> 00:48:08.374
Like my value has gone down.

00:48:08.374 --> 00:48:10.752
I'm like—
Like, I want to prove a point.

00:48:10.752 --> 00:48:14.422
A major setback
won't hold me back.

00:48:14.422 --> 00:48:16.341
[dramatic melody plays]

00:48:17.717 --> 00:48:19.802
[man] You're one of the best
players in the world.

00:48:20.845 --> 00:48:22.597
The United States
has the best players.

00:48:24.140 --> 00:48:25.558
You're on the EYBL.

00:48:25.558 --> 00:48:28.645
There's 32 teams
that are EYBL.

00:48:28.645 --> 00:48:30.605
You're on one of the teams.
You're on the top level.

00:48:30.605 --> 00:48:33.191
You're one of the best
players in the world.

00:48:33.191 --> 00:48:34.692
You have to act like it.

00:48:39.238 --> 00:48:41.699
[Ashley] Everybody wants to play
in the Nike EYBL.

00:48:41.699 --> 00:48:44.661
And every single college coach
knows about it.

00:48:48.623 --> 00:48:50.500
[man] As an injured athlete,

00:48:50.500 --> 00:48:53.336
it's very simple
for college coaches

00:48:53.336 --> 00:48:54.879
to disregard you or...

00:48:54.879 --> 00:48:56.964
even forget
that you exist.

00:48:57.465 --> 00:49:00.301
She could be forgotten
very easily.

00:49:00.301 --> 00:49:03.846
Enjoy this moment. Not many kids
get to experience this. You do.

00:49:04.722 --> 00:49:05.890
[Ashley] The competitive level

00:49:05.890 --> 00:49:08.226
is just ten times better
and harder.

00:49:12.438 --> 00:49:14.524
[George] You're playing
Indiana Gym Rats.

00:49:14.524 --> 00:49:16.943
They're a great program.

00:49:16.943 --> 00:49:19.987
The players are super smart.

00:49:20.613 --> 00:49:22.699
The coach is great.

00:49:22.699 --> 00:49:26.077
Their tradition of basketball
is real.

00:49:26.077 --> 00:49:29.372
It's Indiana basketball, okay?

00:49:29.372 --> 00:49:31.624
Which is better than
anybody else's basketball.

00:49:32.417 --> 00:49:35.128
These kids can shoot,
they're smart,

00:49:35.128 --> 00:49:38.256
they know how to set screens,
they focus.

00:49:38.256 --> 00:49:41.342
You have to put it all together
against a team like that.

00:49:41.342 --> 00:49:43.720
I love basketball!
I love basketball!

00:49:45.972 --> 00:49:47.473
[juicer whirring]

00:49:52.645 --> 00:49:56.315
That's a good court.
I've never been there.

00:49:56.315 --> 00:49:57.316
That's a big one.

00:49:57.316 --> 00:49:59.277
Come on, ball! Grace, out!

00:50:01.487 --> 00:50:03.489
[suspenseful melody plays]

00:50:03.489 --> 00:50:05.825
Yeah! Good job.

00:50:08.327 --> 00:50:10.580
Good screen. Good roll.

00:50:10.580 --> 00:50:12.457
Ow! Good.

00:50:12.457 --> 00:50:14.292
[George] All right! Go!

00:50:16.669 --> 00:50:17.670
[whistle blows]

00:50:17.670 --> 00:50:18.588
[George] Ashley!

00:50:22.300 --> 00:50:22.675
[Ashley] No.

00:50:24.844 --> 00:50:27.138
Her job as a point guard
is to ensure

00:50:27.138 --> 00:50:29.348
that they keep the possession.

00:50:29.348 --> 00:50:32.435
She's not patient enough.
Sometimes it's just too rushed.

00:50:33.686 --> 00:50:36.022
[George] Go hard,
see if you can score!

00:50:36.022 --> 00:50:37.190
Hit it!

00:50:38.566 --> 00:50:40.109
[girl] Nice job!

00:50:40.109 --> 00:50:41.778
[Lida] Whoo-hoo! Good job.

00:50:44.363 --> 00:50:45.615
How much time is left?

00:50:45.615 --> 00:50:47.033
-Ten seconds.
-Ten seconds.

00:50:47.492 --> 00:50:48.743
One more stop.

00:50:51.788 --> 00:50:53.915
[suspenseful melody intensifies]

00:50:56.918 --> 00:50:59.545
-[Ashley] The game's over!
-[whistle blows]

00:50:59.545 --> 00:51:01.464
-Done. Over!
-Yes!

00:51:02.131 --> 00:51:04.842
Oh, yeah! All right,
we gotta score in the three.

00:51:04.842 --> 00:51:06.385
-[all cheering]
-[George] Good job.

00:51:06.385 --> 00:51:09.680
-Yeah, yeah. [laughs]
-[indistinct conversation]

00:51:10.640 --> 00:51:12.433
[Ashley] There were
a lot of coaches.

00:51:12.433 --> 00:51:15.311
I was hoping I'd see a bright
yellow shirt for Michigan,

00:51:15.311 --> 00:51:16.312
but I didn't see it.

00:51:19.607 --> 00:51:21.526
[people chattering indistinctly]

00:51:22.735 --> 00:51:24.070
[dramatic melody plays]

00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:33.246
[inaudible dialogue]

00:51:35.206 --> 00:51:37.124
What size does Coach J wear?

00:51:41.963 --> 00:51:44.006
I'm proud of where I—
Like, where I came from

00:51:44.006 --> 00:51:47.802
when I was little, just because
I was a little Asian girl.

00:51:47.802 --> 00:51:50.012
And now I'm playing
at literally the highest level

00:51:50.012 --> 00:51:52.682
anybody could ever play at
in high school.

00:51:54.684 --> 00:51:57.186
Coming out of this, I'm really
hoping to get ranked,

00:51:57.186 --> 00:51:59.814
because you don't see
that many people that are Asian

00:51:59.814 --> 00:52:01.732
that are ranked on ESPN,

00:52:01.732 --> 00:52:04.652
and I wanted to show people
that I could do that.

00:52:05.903 --> 00:52:08.614
I want people to see
that even if I don't play well,

00:52:08.614 --> 00:52:09.866
it's not just because
I'm Asian.

00:52:09.866 --> 00:52:11.909
It's because
I'm just having a bad day.

00:52:17.790 --> 00:52:19.250
[birds chirping]

00:52:20.751 --> 00:52:22.545
[Jayme] We're going
to make a spreadsheet.

00:52:24.213 --> 00:52:26.883
Name of the school,
the coach, the location.

00:52:26.883 --> 00:52:29.468
I bet you don't even know
where some of these places are.

00:52:29.468 --> 00:52:31.679
-I don't.
-You little poo.

00:52:32.388 --> 00:52:34.849
Okay, so let's start—

00:52:34.849 --> 00:52:37.977
Let's just start in the Ivy
because it's easy to categorize.

00:52:38.686 --> 00:52:40.730
Also, I don't want to stay
in California.

00:52:40.730 --> 00:52:43.858
I don't want to stay on—
in L.A.

00:52:43.858 --> 00:52:46.485
Your dad's not going to knock on
your door. Neither is your mom.

00:52:46.485 --> 00:52:48.529
-I know.
-And you're gonna have

00:52:48.529 --> 00:52:50.656
all of the autonomy
that you want.

00:52:50.656 --> 00:52:53.367
They're not probably,
unfortunately,

00:52:53.367 --> 00:52:56.203
even going to be able to make it
to a lot of the games.

00:52:56.203 --> 00:52:58.789
'Cause that's too far for them.

00:53:04.921 --> 00:53:06.839
[somber melody plays]

00:53:18.601 --> 00:53:20.353
[cheerfully laughs]

00:53:21.854 --> 00:53:23.940
We're so happy you're here!

00:53:26.275 --> 00:53:27.526
You've
got to be

00:53:27.526 --> 00:53:28.861
very proud of
your daughter.

00:53:28.861 --> 00:53:30.696
What an exciting time for her.

00:53:30.696 --> 00:53:32.740
We're just honored
that you were able to come,

00:53:32.740 --> 00:53:36.786
because we knew that she
hadn't gone on a lot of visits.

00:53:37.495 --> 00:53:40.164
So the fact that she's on
these visits is big-time.

00:53:40.164 --> 00:53:42.333
Ashley, how are you?

00:53:42.333 --> 00:53:43.834
[upbeat melody plays]

00:53:45.461 --> 00:53:47.755
[Ashley] Anybody
that visits colleges,

00:53:47.755 --> 00:53:49.298
unofficial or official,

00:53:49.298 --> 00:53:51.676
they take you around
on campus...

00:53:51.676 --> 00:53:53.260
I wanted to talk to you
kind of about

00:53:53.260 --> 00:53:57.723
all the different Asian
Pacific Islander orgs we have.

00:53:57.723 --> 00:54:02.728
Like, how many people
do you see that are like us?

00:54:02.728 --> 00:54:04.438
If you wanted to play
professionally,

00:54:04.438 --> 00:54:08.192
I think you could. Our job is
to help you achieve those goals.

00:54:09.235 --> 00:54:11.696
Ah! Ah!

00:54:18.285 --> 00:54:19.578
That's amazing.

00:54:20.287 --> 00:54:22.873
[Ashley] They put you in
a jersey to take a photo shoot.

00:54:23.749 --> 00:54:25.251
I don't know,
it just feels like

00:54:25.251 --> 00:54:27.837
you're like a celebrity,
which is pretty cool.

00:54:27.837 --> 00:54:28.754
You're special.

00:54:28.754 --> 00:54:30.464
You can pass,
score, defend.

00:54:30.464 --> 00:54:33.092
You're solid, really a leader.
You lead by example.

00:54:33.718 --> 00:54:36.095
I'm also really
easily influenced.

00:54:36.721 --> 00:54:41.100
I love campus.
I like it a lot, actually. Yeah.

00:54:42.143 --> 00:54:44.645
I feel like for me,
it's still so hard to know

00:54:44.645 --> 00:54:47.356
what I want
or what I don't want.

00:54:53.029 --> 00:54:55.406
[chanting indistinctly]

00:54:55.406 --> 00:54:57.491
[drums playing rapid rhythm]

00:55:00.202 --> 00:55:02.329
[band playing fanfare]

00:55:04.331 --> 00:55:07.168
[man] Right here,
this is Bear territory!

00:55:07.168 --> 00:55:08.294
[Lida exclaims]

00:55:09.628 --> 00:55:12.339
Your work ethic and your
quickness and your physicality,

00:55:12.339 --> 00:55:13.841
we look at you, and we're like,

00:55:13.841 --> 00:55:15.593
"You're a guard
that could hang in the Pac."

00:55:15.593 --> 00:55:17.762
We also talked a lot
about playing fast.

00:55:17.762 --> 00:55:19.680
You were like,
"That's something I want to do."

00:55:19.680 --> 00:55:21.307
You do it with the Storm.

00:55:21.307 --> 00:55:23.642
In Chicago, you just get
downhill, get tough,

00:55:23.642 --> 00:55:25.227
and you finish that.

00:55:25.227 --> 00:55:27.480
I didn't think that I would like
this place as much as I do.

00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:29.565
-[coach] Ooh!
-It just feels like a family.

00:55:29.565 --> 00:55:31.567
-It feels like home for you?
-Yeah, a little.

00:55:31.567 --> 00:55:33.569
-Good, good.
-[Jayme] Like, why not Cal?

00:55:33.569 --> 00:55:37.698
I was just wondering why
you guys came a little late?

00:55:37.698 --> 00:55:40.034
Yeah. Yeah, fair question.

00:55:40.034 --> 00:55:42.119
-You didn't play last year.
-Mm-hmm.

00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:43.746
We did see you young.

00:55:43.746 --> 00:55:46.248
I actually saw you last year on
the bench cheering your team on,

00:55:46.248 --> 00:55:48.000
being an amazing teammate.

00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:49.126
But you weren't playing.

00:55:49.126 --> 00:55:51.003
When we started watching more,

00:55:51.003 --> 00:55:53.923
we were just like, "I think
Ashley fits that piece."

00:56:00.429 --> 00:56:02.223
I feel like you wouldn't let me.

00:56:02.223 --> 00:56:04.892
Not that I wouldn't let you.
You owe it to yourself.

00:56:04.892 --> 00:56:08.479
You've earned the other visits
to go and see.

00:56:08.479 --> 00:56:10.898
-Mm-hmm.
-Not that I wouldn't let you.

00:56:10.898 --> 00:56:14.068
And that's— If this is
the place for you,

00:56:14.068 --> 00:56:17.738
you'll feel it even more
strongly afterwards.

I liked, 'cause they asked me.

[Ashley] I like how Princeton
is in a college town

00:56:43.556 --> 00:56:45.349
and it's like a college town

00:56:45.349 --> 00:56:48.227
and everybody who is around
Princeton loves Princeton.

00:56:48.227 --> 00:56:50.896
And everybody who has been
to Princeton loves Princeton.

to not survive here,

00:56:55.568 --> 00:56:58.612

to be successful.

00:56:58.612 --> 00:57:02.074
From, like, a nutritionist
to a sports psychologist

00:57:02.074 --> 00:57:03.784
to the writing center,

00:57:03.784 --> 00:57:06.745
to a tutor for every class
you could possibly want.

00:57:06.745 --> 00:57:10.499
So Ashley would have a tutor
for any class...

00:57:10.499 --> 00:57:11.834
Yeah, we have— we are—

00:57:11.834 --> 00:57:14.503
We are graduating
three guards right now.

00:57:15.129 --> 00:57:16.881
I would love for her
to come in,

00:57:16.881 --> 00:57:18.674
because she could 
make a great impact

00:57:18.674 --> 00:57:21.385
and play alongside her
old teammate from Flintridge

00:57:21.385 --> 00:57:23.179
in Kaitlyn Chen.

00:57:23.179 --> 00:57:25.389
[indistinct conversation]

00:57:32.521 --> 00:57:35.608
I really want her
to go to Berkeley.

00:57:36.734 --> 00:57:38.235
Close home.

00:57:39.111 --> 00:57:41.614
I can go watch her,

00:57:41.614 --> 00:57:44.241

Take my brother maybe.

00:57:44.241 --> 00:57:46.202
My son or my wife.

00:57:46.202 --> 00:57:48.162
It's kind of far for me

00:57:48.162 --> 00:57:50.664
to come here unless...

00:57:52.291 --> 00:57:54.418
Have to sell my donut shop.
[chuckles]

00:57:54.418 --> 00:57:58.839
It's hard because she just
can't possibly understand

00:57:58.839 --> 00:58:01.634
the sacrifices
that everybody's made.

00:58:01.634 --> 00:58:03.385
The way I see it, I don't—

00:58:03.385 --> 00:58:05.554
She's not ready yet to commit.

00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:09.141
For today, no, I don't think so.

00:58:13.103 --> 00:58:16.523
I'm trying not to say the words
when I'm next to him.

00:58:16.523 --> 00:58:18.734
-You better talk to your pops first.
-I already did.

00:58:18.734 --> 00:58:20.694
-What'd he say?
-He didn't say anything.

00:58:20.694 --> 00:58:23.781
I said I'm not going to Cal.

00:58:24.990 --> 00:58:27.159
But be patient a little bit.

00:58:29.245 --> 00:58:30.537
[Jayme] Do you hear me?

Keep shooting.

00:58:54.979 --> 00:58:56.897
[Ashley] I told Coach Berube,
I was like,

00:58:56.897 --> 00:58:59.316
"I can't say the words
in front of my dad

00:58:59.316 --> 00:59:03.195
because I feel like he needs
more time to process this."

00:59:03.195 --> 00:59:05.072
And then 15 minutes later,
I was just like,

00:59:05.072 --> 00:59:08.158
"Coach Berube, I want
to commit to Princeton."

00:59:08.158 --> 00:59:11.328

"Yeah, let's make it happen."

I committed. So... I think
it was a pretty successful trip.

00:59:45.654 --> 00:59:50.159
I think that I never had, like,
a time where I wasn't happy.

00:59:58.292 --> 01:00:01.086
My mom texted me
like three days later

01:00:01.086 --> 01:00:02.421
after I committed.

01:00:03.589 --> 01:00:06.508

We didn't talk in person.

with her.

I want close to her, more.

Sometimes I just want
to talk to her...

more, like— like...

01:00:34.495 --> 01:00:38.082
I want her to tell me
what's inside,

01:00:38.082 --> 01:00:40.834
what her feelings inside.

I don't think, though,
she's going to tell me.

And sometimes I want it,
but I can't talk it.

we have three new freshmen

who are actually
basketball players.

have been playing

They all grew up
as J.A. players.

for the captains

to have not just an idea,

01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:39.823

a chance to make CIF."

for myself, not the whole team.

[man] Oh, that's right!

01:07:04.718 --> 01:07:08.263
The way we do this is we let
the grandparents go first.

01:07:08.263 --> 01:07:10.891
-[man] Yay!
-Or if you're a senior.

01:07:10.891 --> 01:07:13.769

The last time we played them
last year,

01:07:53.058 --> 01:07:55.060
we actually lost two games
to them.

01:07:56.520 --> 01:07:59.064
Ashley being a senior,
I really hope

01:07:59.064 --> 01:08:02.317
that we can show that maturity
and show that, like,

01:08:02.317 --> 01:08:05.028
kind of that page-turning
from where we were last year.

that we knew

Like, especially before college,
I don't want to be, like...

01:14:19.736 --> 01:14:22.947
thinking about having to, like,
be okay with my mom.

01:14:23.698 --> 01:14:26.117
That would add just
more pressure into my life,

01:14:26.117 --> 01:14:28.786
and, like, if we're not
at that stage by, like,

01:14:28.786 --> 01:14:30.997
before I go to college,
then it's just, like,

01:14:30.997 --> 01:14:34.459
okay, I did that, and she's on
the other side of the country.

about it now.

Well, now we're here.

01:19:52.985 --> 01:19:54.987
Do we want to stand on the top?

01:19:54.987 --> 01:19:56.864
[Jayme] Have we played
our best basketball yet?

01:19:56.864 --> 01:19:58.658
-[all] No.
-[Kevin] That's the crazy thing.

01:19:58.658 --> 01:20:01.202
That's the crazy part.
I know that to be true.

01:20:01.202 --> 01:20:03.621
And I know that we're peaking
at the right time.

01:20:04.622 --> 01:20:07.291
[Ashley] Coach Jayme and Coach Kevin
have prepared us so much

01:20:07.291 --> 01:20:11.420
for this moment, and I just
know that it will pay off.

01:20:11.420 --> 01:20:13.589
No matter the outcome,
I just know

01:20:13.589 --> 01:20:16.175
that my team will pull it out
one way or another.

01:20:17.969 --> 01:20:19.512
[Jayme] We don't look badass.

01:20:19.512 --> 01:20:22.390
[laughing] We look like
a bunch of misfits out there.

01:20:22.390 --> 01:20:25.434
We look like I went
on campus and went,

01:20:25.434 --> 01:20:28.813
"Hey, you, can you catch?"
Like, "Hey, you, can you jump?

01:20:28.813 --> 01:20:31.566
Come and play basketball."
Like, nobody fears us.

01:20:31.566 --> 01:20:32.984
We walk into the gym
and people laugh.

01:20:32.984 --> 01:20:36.153
They're like, "This is
the Flintridge Prep?!"

01:20:36.153 --> 01:20:37.697

Can you explain it to me?
Then she ran into her.

[Ashley speaks indistinctly]

01:23:09.515 --> 01:23:12.852
We have someone who is
borderline in foul trouble.

01:23:12.852 --> 01:23:15.229
We protect that person
by staying on the offensive end.

01:23:15.229 --> 01:23:16.814

[Jayme] Yeah. Go get Ashley.

01:23:58.898 --> 01:24:01.108
They gave the wrong foul
to my number 5.

01:24:01.108 --> 01:24:03.486
-What number does she have?
-It was on number 21.

01:24:03.486 --> 01:24:05.237
You called offensive foul on 21.

01:24:05.237 --> 01:24:08.282
You have to go back.
She gave 'em number 5.

01:24:08.282 --> 01:24:10.493
Okay, so we're going
to keep it that way?

01:24:10.493 --> 01:24:11.911
That was her fourth foul

01:24:11.911 --> 01:24:13.454
-on that recorded mistake.
-I can't—

01:24:13.454 --> 01:24:16.081
-I just want to let you know.
-Can you ask your partner?

01:24:16.081 --> 01:24:19.585
-She wasn't in the play.
-She wasn't even there.

01:24:19.585 --> 01:24:22.129
[Jayme] No, they gave
Maddie's foul to you.

01:24:22.129 --> 01:24:23.714
There's nothing I can do.

01:24:23.714 --> 01:24:25.800
You're gonna play.

01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:28.552
But you know
you cannot foul at all!

01:33:42.272 --> 01:33:45.442
of, like, Ashley,
and I hope my teammates see it.

01:33:45.442 --> 01:33:48.779
And it's like, "Oh, my gosh,
we are going to miss her."

01:33:48.779 --> 01:33:51.990
Not because of, like,
basketball-wise,

01:33:51.990 --> 01:33:55.243
but, like, "Oh, we are going
to miss Ashley the person."

01:34:04.628 --> 01:34:07.589
This is like my "maybe.”
And those are my "maybe" too.

01:34:11.343 --> 01:34:13.512
This is too many jackets, huh?

01:34:13.512 --> 01:34:15.138
[sighs] Okay.

01:34:16.681 --> 01:34:20.727
I'm leaving for college
in two days, on Saturday.

01:34:21.436 --> 01:34:25.148
And it's hitting a lot more
than I thought it was going to.

01:34:28.360 --> 01:34:29.778
But my family's coming with me,

01:34:29.778 --> 01:34:31.863
so I don't have to say bye
till then.

01:34:42.582 --> 01:34:43.917
It's broken.

01:34:48.463 --> 01:34:50.048
[Baov] Let's go, we're late!

01:34:50.048 --> 01:34:51.383
Okay.

01:34:54.386 --> 01:34:56.555
