Andi Jackson talked about the golden advice given by Andi Jackson as she mentioned,

"I think Danny [Busboom Kelly] does a really good job as a head coach, um giving us credit like where credit is due. So we've talked about it before, before every game, we smell the roses, really enjoy it for what it is, and we stay very present." [2:56 onwards]

The middle blocker further added,

"And I really appreciate that from Danny because in the Big 10 and in every single conference and this high of a level, you can get really caught up in the monotony of things. And winning can feel more relieving than exciting. And Danny does a really good job of letting us know that regardless of the win, like a win in the Big 10 is really a big deal, regardless of who it's against."

In a previous press conference, Jackson revealed that the level of game is increasing day by day, and the Huskers cannot afford to be complacent. In her words,

"There were so many upsets, so it kind of starts to get to teams, and this is where the real challenges come in, because the level of play only gets higher, and you have to become very mentally tough. So, we were really focused on Wisconsin and Oregon last weekend, and now we're going to turn it around and really focus on Illinois and Minnesota. I knew that, I was just blanking, but now we're going to focus on them this week."

Nebraska Volleyball has won the Big Ten Championships consecutively in 2023 and 2024, respectively. However, the Huskers will stop at nothing until they win back the NCAA Championships title, which they haven't won since 2017.
