“It never occurred to me to leave. I still wanted to watch everyone and support the team—and I guess a part of me hoped I would get better even though I knew I wouldn't.”
“A lot of it was just trying to get them to be more vocal—to take charge a little more. Both of them are younger so they have to learn to speak up and lead a little more. They just have to be a little more confident.”
“I would always try to cheer them on at practice. I'll try to get them to do certain things in practice that I know that they can do so that they could see that they could do them.”
“I like playing point because you're in charge. It's also what I'm best at—passing is one of my strengths. In field hockey, I play midfield, which is kind of the same as a point guard. You're more in control of things like distributing the ball.”
“It was hard early in the season. It still is—especially if the team is struggling. I want to go in and help the team. Watching the team is fun but I would prefer to be out there. The first Guilford game [a 66-52 loss] was especially hard. That was the game that I really realized that I would never play again.”
