Hailey started to get involved in basketball around the second grade of elementary school when she was 6 or 7 years old. Initially, it was because her brother was playing basketball and her father also happened to be the coach. Haili has been very competitive since she was a child. After getting into basketball, she always wanted to play better than her brother, so she continued to train and study, from dribbling, shooting, physical fitness, etc., so she has the skills she has today.
