Growing up in a family deeply entrenched in sports, especially basketball, has had a significant influence on Jada's sporting career. With all her relatives, including her aunts, cousins, siblings, and even basketball-coaching grandparents, involved in the sport, she was naturally drawn to it from a young age. This familial background in basketball not only sparked her initial interest in the game but also played a pivotal role in her decision to choose Iowa for furthering her athletic journey.

Jada identifies a high school gym in Minnesota as the most challenging venue she has played in, a distinction earned primarily due to the intense presence of the opposing crowd. During a game last year, the significantly small court was encircled by spectators right up to the out-of-bounds lines, creating a high-pressure atmosphere. The situation was further intensified as it was a championship game, which eventually stretched into double overtime. The combination of the crowd's scrutiny and the high-stakes game turned this experience into an unforgettable, adrenaline-filled event for Jada.
