WATCH: Coach Prime's daughter Shelomi Sanders shows off dance moves in grey sweatpants with Alabama A&M teammate
Shelomi Sanders, the youngest daughter of Deion Sanders, showed off her off-court skills in a TikTok video on Monday. In the video, Coach Prime's daughter busted out moves with her Alabama A&M teammate, Jaiyah Harris-Smith, dancing to 2Pac's song, "How Do You Want It?"
"Hth," she captioned the video.
Sanders moved to Alabama A&M from Colorado this season, in the hopes of making more impact for the Lady Bulldogs this year. In her most recent game, a 78-67 win over the San Diego Toreros on Saturday, she posted three points and one rebound in five minutes.
Shelomi Sanders speaks about being "insecure" after getting diagnosed with diabetes, becomes "Dexcom U NIL program" ambassador
Coach Prime's daughter, Shelomi Sanders, was candid about her mental struggles after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 13. Speaking with People magazine to celebrate November’s National Diabetes Awareness Month, Sanders said that she was overwhelmed and embarrassed after being diagnosed.
“Being that young and getting diagnosed, it was pretty tough just because I didn't expect to take on that much responsibility at a young age. I was just very insecure,” she said. “I would hide my devices, I would go to the bathroom to take my injections, all of that.
“But that's definitely changed over the years. I was really in denial and very insecure about it for so long. So, one day I just made a video explaining my devices and what I've been through, and I've gotten so much love since then. I kind of wish I had more of an open mind when I first got diagnosed.”
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body produces little or no insulin, requiring constant medications. Common symptoms include weight loss, extreme hunger, increased thirst and frequent urination, fatigue and behavior changes.
Sanders now uses Dexcom G7, a wearable continuous glucose monitoring system that is linked to an app, through which she shares her levels with her family, trainer and teammates at Alabama A&M. She has also partnered with Dexcom U and its NIL Ambassador program to mentor other young athletes with diabetes.
“I used to be so closed off. So, just being able to relate to people on that type of level and to share stories and a laugh … everything about it, it’s just amazing,” she said.
“I know we teach them things, but the mentees have really taught me things at the same time. Just how they carry themselves. Like, ‘Yeah, I am a diabetic and so what? This does not stop me. This does not define me.’ That was really big for me.”
