Adidas took to their Instagram handle on Saturday and shared a video featuring several women athletes from various sports, including Jackson, Anna Hall, Trinity Rodman. The video montage offered glimpses of their careers with the former tennis player, Billie Jean King's voice narrating in the background.

Highlighting the importance of women's sports, she said:

"They'll say,'We believe in you. You are meant to be here. You are not alone.' And may be you'll believe it and maybe there'll be days you won't. But they will. Because she didn't get here on her own, and neither did she, not even me, or any of them. They all had someone who believed. And so do you. We all need someone to make us believe. You got this."

"I didn’t really understand the significance of Nebraska volleyball, and if I’m gonna be honest, and I didn’t realize how big of a deal John Cook was."
