LSU Tigers guard Flau’jae Johnson has a two-word motto ahead of an NCAA Tournament run with LSU.
“Choose better,” Johnson told USA TODAY while promoting a partnership with BODYARMOR. “That’s literally who I am in every facet of my life.”
Fittingly, the sports drink brand has a March Madness campaign, focused on hydration and recovery, with the same name. However, for Johnson, it’s more than a campaign. It’s how she operates.
“Choose better in every facet of my life: my mental, my preparation, my body. What I put into my body is very important to me. It’s just choosing better in everything that I do, especially as an athlete,” Johnson said.
“I feel like taking care of your body is the No. 1 thing you have to do. For me, it’s in every facet of life. When I’m into something or when I’m doing anything ― and that’s my athletics [and] my music ― I’m trying to choose better. I’m trying to be the best version of myself.”
