"If you want it, you go get it.": Flau'jae Johnson shares powerful message on ambition and hard work

On Wednesday, Overtime Women's Basketball shared a post on their official Instagram page featuring a video of LSU guard Flau'jae Johnson getting some outdoor training in.

During the workout, Johnson took a moment to drop a few words of wisdom.

"If somebody has to get up to make you go get it, you don't want it," Johnson said. "If you want it, you go get it. If you don't wanna get it, you don't want it badly. Before you start wasting your parents' money, ask yourself if you want it. Let me tell you, I do."

Johnson is heading into her senior year of college basketball with the LSU Tigers. She decided to join the Tigers for one more season, foregoing the opportunity to enter the 2025 WNBA draft. She is, however, currently a projected lottery pick in the 2026 WNBA draft.
