As a freshman at Stanford, Brink helped her team win the national championship. In her sophomore season, she shared Pac-12 Player of the Year honors and led her team to the Final Four. As a junior, Brink received the WBCA Defensive Player of the Year award and became Stanford's all-time leader in blocks. In her senior season, she was named Pac-12 Player of the Year for a second time. Brink has won two gold medals with the United States at the youth international level and led the national 3x3 team to the 2023 FIBA 3x3 World Cup title, where she was named the tournament's most valuable player (MVP).

Early life

Brink was born on December 31, 2001, in Princeton, New Jersey. [2] [3] She lived in Amsterdam for three years, from age eight, because of her parents' jobs at Nike and returned to the United States before starting sixth grade. [4] [5] Brink was not initially interested in basketball, preferring art as a child and being drawn to volleyball after watching the 2012 Summer Olympics. [6] She began playing basketball after attending a camp held by her godfather, Dell Curry, while her family was visiting Curry's family in Charlotte, North Carolina. [5] Upon returning to Amsterdam, Brink played for her school and was the youngest player on the team. [7] One year later, her family moved to Oregon, where she joined a basketball club. [6]

High school

Brink played basketball for Southridge High School in Beaverton, Oregon for three seasons under head coach Mike Bergmann. As a freshman, she averaged 12.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, helping her team win the Class 6A state title. [5] In her sophomore season, Brink led Southridge to a 28–1 record and a second straight Class 6A state championship, averaging 17.1 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game. [8] Her team won all 26 games against in-state opponents by double digits. [9] She was named Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year. [10]

Entering her junior season, Brink entered a leading role for Southridge, [11] averaging 21.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game.

[12] For her senior season, Brink transferred to Mountainside High School in Beaverton. [13] She averaged 19.7 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game as a senior. She missed five games with a high ankle sprain and played through injury at the state tournament. [14] Brink was selected to play in the McDonald's All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic, [15] [16] which were both canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [17]

[11] Brink described Stanford as her dream school and was drawn there by her relationships with head coach Tara VanDerveer and assistant coach Kate Paye. She also felt that attending the university would benefit her after her playing career due to its strong academic prowess. [11] [20] Brink had received an offer from Stanford after a camp at age 13, where she impressed then-assistant coach Amy Tucker during a scrimmage against a college team. [7]
