Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

The quote urges active perseverance: don’t succumb to defeat (“hang down,” “sit down and grieve”), but pivot toward solutions (“find another way”). The final sentence adds an ethical challenge to fair-weather faith—if one appeals to God only in hardship (“when it rains”) but not in prosperity (“when the sun shines”), that faith is opportunistic rather than sincere. Taken together, Paige frames resilience as both practical and principled: keep moving, keep improvising, and maintain consistent values regardless of circumstances. It’s a compact philosophy of grit that resonates with Paige’s own career, where adaptability and mental toughness were as crucial as athletic skill.
