Skylar Diggins-Smith
The Disruptor
Contrarian and drawn to the edge; challenges the settled answer.
Skylar Diggins-Smith reads as The Disruptor because she has repeatedly chosen paths that did not yet exist and explained why that independence matters beyond herself. Notre Dame over the established powerhouses, the first female athlete signed to Roc Nation, the first athlete since Vince Carter to join Puma as it entered basketball with no basketball identity. None of it was circumstance. It is a deliberate pattern of departure from convention, executed with clear intent.
“You decide what's cool. Don't have other people tell you what you want your experience to look like, because everybody experience is different. You choose your path.”
“That opened up the door for me to be one of the first athletes to sign with Roc Nation, one of the first athletes to sign with Puma. You decide what's cool.”
“Nobody was going to Notre Dame back then. I was the only top one hundred I think that went to Notre Dame at that time, and everybody was gearing me towards the more traditional basketball schools.”
