00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: as a head coach. Has really had a breakthrough season

162

163
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: having their moments this season, still trying to figure out

164
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: after the loss of some seniors. But at the end

165
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: of the day, I'm excited to have this conversation with

178
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: have been going over the last several years, this program

179
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: has really been one of the most impressive that I

180
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: can recall in recent memory. Harvard's head coach. She's a

181
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: Michigan native like me, Come on now, so I love

182
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: that she's a former national leading scorer at Western Michigan.

183
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: She went on to play professionally in the WNBA, also

184
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: played overseas, went through the coaching ranks Princeton create in

185
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: North Carolina. I mean literally, has just really continued to

186
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: develop herself into one of the best, and now she's

187
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: helped to lead Harvard to their first IVY March Madness

188
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: win and twenty twenty five this past year took them

189
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: to their first ever IVY League Tournament championship and an

190
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament run. And if you remember Harmon the way

191
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: she was turning up, this is who was coaching her.

192
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: So we are excited to welcome coach Carrie Moore to

193

00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Let me say this at the people who can't see

198
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: coach war because she coached more.

199
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 4: But she looked like she could steal ball.

200
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 2: A little bit. I don't know, coach, you still be

201
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: giving them buckets.

202
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 5: In practice, I try to keep all the credibility that No,

203
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 5: I try to keep all the credibility that I have

204
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: from statistics, so I don't try to I don't try

205
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 5: to mess around on the court.

206
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: You will sometimes, like you know, for sure, to like

207
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: let me let me show these young.

208
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 5: And what just watch.

209
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Well, people might not know, but she

210
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: used to go by carried a score, you know what

211
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So yeah, you know, at some point she

212
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: had to be like, Okay, now I'm gonna be coach more.

213
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: So let's talk about that.

214
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: Just your coaching journey, how you went from being one

215
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 3: of the nation's leading scorer in college to coaching in general.

216
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: Just where did you realize like, Okay, this is something

217
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: that I want to continue to do in a way

218
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: that I want to continue to get back to the game.

219
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if I've always you know, some

220
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 5: people just like know like they want to coach, right

221
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 5: and I don't. I just knew I wanted to play.

222
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 5: I just wanted to play basketball and play it at

223
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 5: a high level. And so after college, you know, I

224
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 5: was in two you guys said I've played in the WNBA.

225
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't take that much credit because I

226
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 5: was in t WNBA training camp. You were there and

227
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 5: was cut before the final word. You were there for sure.

228
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: For sure, I got a great taste of it. And

229
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 5: you know, without making a final roster for two years

230
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: and going overseas for a year, you know, I just

231
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 5: was like, well, let me just see, you know, what

232
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 5: else is out there, because I just, you know, I

233
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 5: just like having options, right, Like I've learned that, you know,

234
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 5: you must have options on the table. And so an

235
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 5: opportunity came about at Princeton as a director of basketball

236
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 5: operations that really I just I felt like I couldn't

237
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 5: pass up. It was moving pretty quickly, and the head

238
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: coach at the time there at Courtney Banghart, she was like,

239
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: are you coming or are you not? And so I

240
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 5: was like, all right, I guess I'm doing this, And

241
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: you know, over almost twenty years later here I am

242
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 5: so yeah, it just you know, that was it was nothing, honestly,

243
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 5: it was just kind of God's timing probably and in

244
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 5: terms of just pushing me in the direction that I

245
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: needed to go. And the next best thing to playing

246
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 5: is you know, being on the sidelines as a coach,

247
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 5: I feel and you know, can really give back to

248
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 5: the game and pay it forward to our young women.

249
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, listen, there's nothing better than God's timing in

250
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: his alignment.

251
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 4: So I will say that.

252
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: And I know we're talking about you, but I want

253
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: to ask you, like you went to a couple of

254
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: W and.

255
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: A training camps. Harmony was at Vegas's training camp. So

256
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: I got a few questions for you. One the first

257
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: part is what do you think Harmony needs to work

258
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: on to try and land a spot in the W

259
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: And the second part of that is what are your

260
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on the growth of the W.

261
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean to touch on harm first. I think

262
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 5: she just she has to play professional basketball, right, Like

263
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: you know, I think there's there's no way to practice

264
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 5: playing at that level than to play at that level.

265
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: So she's having a great year overseas in France and

266
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 5: I think that will really propel her to hopefully having

267
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 5: a better chance at making a roster this this upcoming

268
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: training camp, she's settling into, you know, what it's like

269
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 5: to not necessarily have to do it all, right, like

270
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 5: fall in love with with doing the little things and

271
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 5: just really playing your role to the best of your ability.

272
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: You know, no w NBA team And I tried to

273
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 5: tell her this and humble her right away, like, no

274
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 5: w B A team that you're going to go to

275
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 5: right now is going to ask you to do all

276
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 5: the things that we were asking to do, and don't

277
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 5: take don't take that as you know, a slight to

278
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: your game. But but but take it as an opportunity

279
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 5: to you know, really hone in and do what you

280
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 5: do really well, and you know, maybe even do those

281
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: things even better now because you're playing with with better players.

282
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 5: So I think it honestly, I think she she needed

283
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 5: the experience. You probably needed to be humbled a bit

284
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 5: to get back to work and you know, really want

285
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: it in a different way and and really open her

286
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 5: eyes to you know, to playing you know in a

287
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: different way and at a different level. So but one

288
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 5: thing she she she did I thought tremendously well. Was

289
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: just really play the part in terms of the intangibles, right,

290
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: like I told her, be the first one in the gym,

291
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 5: the last one to leave, be as coachable as you can,

292
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 5: ask questions, you know, be curious, and you know, I

293
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 5: wasn't there every day, but I felt like you know,

294
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 5: in my text with her and phone calls, she really

295
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 5: showed up in that way. And so just hoping the

296
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 5: best for her. And to answer the second part of

297
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 5: your question, I think just with you know, the expansion

298
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 5: and all the new growth in the league, hopefully it

299
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 5: provides you know, her and other you know, really good

300
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 5: mid major players and opportunity to to make some rosters.

301
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 5: But that the you know, it's it's no secret that

302
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 5: the league is very good. So you've got to be

303
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 5: You've got to do at your best in order to

304
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: make that roster. And yeah, so I'm excited to be

305
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 5: excited to see where it goes and all these teams,

306
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: you know, they got to Detroit talking about Detroit trying

307
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 5: to you know, come back. So it's it's nostalgic for

308
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: me in a sense, but I'm looking forward to watching.

309
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: I love that and I love what you said about

310
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: about humbling her, and that's not even specific to harmony,

311
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: but just in general that there is this sense that

312
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: you've got to learn how to teach kids how to

313
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: play with confidence, but not necessarily with a sense of entitlement.

314
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 3: And I feel like there's something with this generation that

315
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: they may have inadvertently developed a sense of entitlement. And

316
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: I think it's a great thing that we have to

317
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: continue to humble them and be like, hey, listen, you

318
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: got to earn it. Nothing's going to be given, especially

319
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: in basketball. And so when I look at Harvard specifically,

320
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: there are so many things that I think this program

321
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: has done over the last few years that I've really

322
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: set them apart that I don't think other folks have

323
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: ever seen. I'm an ap voter, right, and so I'm

324
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: one of the people that be voting for the IVY

325
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: League teams.

326
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: And volks be like why do you get them on

327
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: your ballot every single time? And I'm like, have you watched?

328
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: Like are you watching?

329
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: So I'm curious to know before you took the Harvard job,

330
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: like what was it about this program that made you

331
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: believe that they could play and that they could win

332
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: even at such a historic level.

333
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I appreciate all that you said, because it's

334
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: really important for me to really provide I think everyone

335
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 5: following women's basketball, women's basketball right now, the opportunity to

336
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 5: know about our league. I'm you know, I'm first foremost,

337
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 5: I'm always Harvard to go Crinceton, right, But I think

338
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 5: just so to educate folks that our league is really good.

339
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 5: And I think you saw that last year with three

340
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 5: teams making it. It's the first time in league history

341
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 5: that's happened, you know, three teams in the NSAA Tournament,

342
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 5: and I think for a very good reason. I think

343
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 5: all three teams deserve to be there. I think we

344
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 5: showed that, you know with Columbia winning a game in

345
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 5: the first four, you know, Princeton in a close game,

346
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: and US hanging you know, pretty tough with with Michigan State.

347
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 5: So I just you know, the I felt like Harvard

348
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 5: was a place I could call the number one kid

349
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 5: in the country and whoever else after that, and they

350
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 5: would pick up the phone because it was Harvard. And

351
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: for me, it's all about the brand and where I

352
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: felt like I could be successful in terms of recruiting

353
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 5: because I was coming from being a recruiting coordinator at Princeton,

354
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 5: at North Carolina, at Michigan. Right, So, first and foremost,

355
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter how good of a coach you are

356
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 5: if you don't have players, it doesn't really matter.

357
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: So that's true.

358
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 5: So I just I wanted to be at a place, yeah,

359
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 5: that I felt like I could attract, you know, the

360
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 5: best student athletes in the country, and that's what we

361
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 5: try to do.

362
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: So I want to add on to that t because

363
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: when you start talking about just coaching and the landscape

364
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: and the recruiting and just all the different aspects of

365
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: being a college coach, there's so so much that comes

366
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: with that. How how do you think the whole nil

367
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: thing has made your job your job harder or easier?

368
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I wish it has made it easier,

369
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 5: but it's it's made it very, very harder, you know.

370
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 5: I think we just I think before you could you

371
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 5: could attract a kid, right that that wanted the degree

372
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 5: and wanted to play basketball really high level. And and

373
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 5: now it's the same conversation, right, but it's now we're

374
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 5: having to compete, you know, with this this amount of

375
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 5: money for the same type of education or similar type

376
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 5: of education. You know at a Stanford or out of Michigan,

377
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 5: or at a Northwestern or you know, name any other

378
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 5: you know, high academic institution in the country. So I

379
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 5: think that's that's definitely made it a little bit more challenging,

380
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 5: but it's it's made us really value I think the

381
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 5: relationship piece even more, you know, really just put in

382
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 5: the time in terms of showing up for them and

383
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 5: their families throughout the recruiting process and understanding right like,

384
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 5: this is a this is a four and for everything,

385
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 5: this is not a four. And you know, I think

386
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: every year thing right in terms of just you know,

387
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 5: you're gonna get this money for for the most part

388
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 5: not I mean, the the generational talents are getting this

389
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 5: money is going to continue to show up for them.

390
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 5: But I think some of the kids that we recruit

391
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 5: they need to understand, right like, this is this is

392
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 5: money you're only going to receive for the next four years.

393
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 5: Where As if you get this degree, this is money

394
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 5: that you know, once you graduate here is going to

395
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 5: continue to come back to you in full right, It's

396
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: like the gift that keeps on giving, you know, since

397
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 5: we're in the holiday season, if you will. But but

398
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: that is the power of a Harvard degree. And so yeah,

399
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 5: you hope that that still means something too. You know,

400
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 5: enough families and enough players that that we can get here,

401
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 5: you know, to to compete at a high level. And

402
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 5: we've had to go internationally as well, like you know,

403
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 5: we've had to really broaden I think, our search and

404
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 5: go internationally too.

405
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I listen here. I am a very proud HPC

406
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: you grab. But honey, if I had a Harvard degree,

407
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 3: all I'm saying is some.

408
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: Additional doors would absolutely be opening.

409
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: So for sure, for sure, that makes a ton of sense.

410
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: And one thing that I have always loved.

411
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: Especially on social media, But now I think you guys

412
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: have taken it to a new level, which is incredible.

413
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: And that's the nerd moniker, right, Like I think folks

414
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: for a very long time. I knew as a kid

415
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: in the eighties, if somebody, you know, called you a nerd,

416
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: you'd probably want to fight, right because it came with

417
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: a connotation of you know, like we all here playing

418
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: dungeons and dragons and they're like, oh, you must be

419
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: a nerd.

420
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, why can't I just be a kid that

421
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 2: likes you know what I mean? Like why I got

422
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: to be a nerd.

423
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: So it was it was always felt like it was

424
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: something negative to be smart or to to you don't

425
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: have lights or interest in things other than what was popular.

426
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: At least that was what it felt.

427
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: But you all have taken that to a level of

428
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: pride and have created a brand and it is taken

429
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: off to the fact that you guys are not only

430
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: embracing NERD but have Nerd jerseys in a NERD game

431
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: coming up on January tenth, and so tell me, you know,

432
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: what does it mean for your team and the pride

433
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: that they have in this name, just beyond what the

434
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: branding says.

435
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, first of all, shout out to my girl Harmony,

436
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 5: because I think it all came about, you know, with

437
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 5: with her platform and her really pushing it with the

438
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 5: success that we had last season, and you know, after

439
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 5: every game she's like, nerds can hoop to baby here

440
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 5: like and you know she started, you know, got shirts made,

441
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 5: and you know, her family was really pushing it. And

442
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 5: then I think our team, you know, really rally behind it.

443
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 5: And now you have our athletic department and our marketing

444
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 5: department and you know, now like you're saying you know,

445
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 5: we're going to do this this NERD jersey giveaway for

446
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: the Columbia game. So I think it just it does

447
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 5: an exceptional job of highlighting the type of you know,

448
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 5: young women we have in our program. And there's there's

449
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 5: nothing wrong with with being smart. Uh, there's nothing wrong

450
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 5: with you know, attacking and competing and education, but also

451
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 5: you know, doing the same thing on the basketball court.

452
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 5: And I think that's why I love being the head

453
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 5: coach at Harvard because you know, these these young ladies

454
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: are are all into being you know, really competitive on

455
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 5: the basketball court, but at the same time, you know

456
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 5: they are all into you know, creating change you know,

457
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: off the court as well. So it's a it's an

458
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 5: incredible opportunity that I think they have to be at Harvard,

459
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 5: and you know they're not taking it lightly to be

460
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 5: able to promote, you know, the combination of being a

461
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: true student athlete.

462
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: Can I piggyback off that really quick?

463
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: Because you started by saying, you know, the platform that

464
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Harmony had, and I think that you know, I didn't.

465
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 2: I didn't play basketball in college.

466
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: By the time I got to college, I knew softball

467
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: was where you should stay sis basketball, not go.

468
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 5: Get it for you.

469
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: So, but but I think the even then, like the

470
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 3: platforms that these student athletes have now are so different.

471
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: Do you think that it makes your job harder or

472
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: easier or do you have to resonate with your student

473
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: athletes differently because of knowing that they have brands, knowing

474
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: that they have TikTok and Instagram and how that you know,

475
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: we got to practice, but you got to get content,

476
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 3: Like how do you really balance ensuring that they can

477
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: still maintain their brand and their platforms but also still

478
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: like maintaining the standards that is Harvard basketball and that

479
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: is any student athlete for sure.

480
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's challenging, right, It's like a fine line that

481
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 5: you've got to walk because I think, you know, competitively,

482
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 5: we talk about like they've got to become us and

483
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 5: you know, not the other way around. But I think

484
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: like there's you know, the standard is a standard. We

485
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 5: talk about that a lot. But when it comes to like,

486
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 5: you know, who they are and the brand and the

487
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 5: platform that they do have, especially being at Harvard and

488
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 5: these n I L opportunities and you know, creating a

489
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: name for themselves, I think you you have to really

490
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: allow them to be themselves and to open up in

491
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 5: these spaces. And for me, that is very different. I'm

492
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 5: very much introvert, you know, I don't I don't really

493
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 5: put myself out there, you know, too much on social media.

494
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 5: And but I've just got to grow. I've I've learned

495
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 5: to accept. You know, this is the generation that we

496
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 5: are in and in all honestly, if if if they

497
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 5: have a platform and and people are watching and tuning in,

498
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 5: then our program, you know, I think, uh, you know

499
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 5: benefits from it greatly. So I just think it's it's

500
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 5: education on you know how to do it and you know,

501
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 5: understanding that you're representing not just yourself, but something so

502
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 5: much bigger than yourself. And make sure you know, we're

503
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 5: having those conversations which we do often that makes but

504
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 5: they're but they're doing the TikTok dances and asking me

505
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 5: you're going to have to do that? You know.

506
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: I do?

507
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 5: I do for sure. I actually am very excited to

508
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 5: do those. It's the other stuff that I'm like, what

509
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 5: do you'll have to do? So?

510
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: But the dancing, I'm so my question kind of aligns

511
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: with what you just said. You know, a lot of

512
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: people think when they hear coaching, especially head coach. They

513
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: immediately think it's all about the x's and o's and

514
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: the all court stuff, right, And I, for one, feel

515
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: it's not like that.

516
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: What is the hardest part of your job?

517
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 5: That's a great questions. I was roller coaster.

518
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: Eying everything.

519
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think the hardest part for me

520
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 5: is just the truth telling, like the horror conversations you

521
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 5: know that that that I in particular have to have.

522
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 5: You know, there's there's such a there's such a difference

523
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 5: between right the assistant chair to the head head coach chair,

524
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 5: even though it's maybe one step to the right or

525
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 5: to the left, because you know, for so long I

526
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 5: was the I joke about it all the time with

527
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 5: our teams, Like, you know, I'm only four years in

528
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 5: as a head coach. I'm forty years old, right, Like

529
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 5: I'm I think relatively young compared to my counterparts. But please,

530
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 5: but but I joke about like you know, I was,

531
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 5: I was the cool assistant that you know, I couldn't

532
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: get our players to like win my office as an assistant.

533
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 5: And then I get a head I get a head

534
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 5: coaching job the next day, and then all of a sudden,

535
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 5: I'm in the scary office, you know that. Yeah, as

536
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 5: soon as somebody steps into you know, they're they're immediately

537
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 5: emotional or going through something. And I got to talk

538
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 5: to you about this, and you know, and it's just

539
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 5: it's just way more in depth. And I think taxing emotionally,

540
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 5: mentally and physically, you know, because you have to make

541
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 5: so many decisions on a daily uh. And and that

542
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 5: is so different than anything I've ever done in my life.

543
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: You know, under your leadership, this team has seen tremendous

544
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: growth and success, and I think that's something you definitely

545
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: have to pat yourself on a back, even though in

546
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: the moment sometimes it feels like there's so much more

547
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: to do.

548
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: We've still we still got to get here. We still

549
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: got to get there.

550
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: But don't overlook like the accomplishments that you've made and

551
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: the strides that you've made, because it is noticeable to

552
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: many across the league. You know, a league, I'm sorry,

553
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: a program, best of twenty four wins, getting the IVY

554
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: League Championship, returning back to the NCAA tournament.

555
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: Was it just a culture change or was it you know, talent?

556
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: Was it belief? You say, the standard is the standard,

557
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: but making the shift in the program. What was it

558
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 2: for you that helped to make that shift?

559
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it definitely is just a culture shift

560
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 5: in terms of, you know, how competitive we are, how

561
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 5: tough we are. You know, what we put into it

562
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 5: is what we're going to get out of it. And

563
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 5: so I felt like that was a change for them.

564
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 5: The senior class that we inherited our first year, you know,

565
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: noticed the change initially. It was very much more you know,

566
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 5: defensive focus. You know, we practiced a little bit longer,

567
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 5: We watched film, you know, probably way more than they

568
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 5: ever have. You know, I had conversations with them, direct

569
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 5: conversations more than they were used to. So just yeah,

570
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 5: a lot of accountability. You know, we talk about non

571
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 5: negotiables being you know, compete, be coachable, and communication, and

572
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 5: I think all three of those areas. You know, we

573
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 5: try to show up at our best, you know, every

574
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: single day. So yeah, I am a competitive person by nature.

575
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 5: So no basketball team that is going to be coached

576
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 5: by me is you know not going to show up

577
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 5: every day and have some competitive stamina about it.

578
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: I love that period because after all, she was a

579
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: she was the score.

580
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 5: But I love that.

581
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: But Carrie.

582
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: You know, people talk a lot about like culture, the culture,

583
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: the culture.

584
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 5: And.

585
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: I think that has a lot of different definitions for

586
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: different people. But a lot of people think that you

587
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: just like you teach that, And personally, I don't think

588
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: that culture is something you teach.

589
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: I think it's something that you build.

590
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 1: So when you when you took the job or got

591
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 1: the job at heart, how intentional were you about building

592
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: the culture or changing the culture of Harvard women's basketball.

593
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, great question. Very intentional. Uh, you know, we I

594
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 5: hired my staff. That was probably the first thing that

595
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 5: I was very intentional about. It took me, you know,

596
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: quite a long time to kind of find exactly what

597
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 5: I was looking for. And I felt like, you know,

598
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 5: I feel like I did a great job with them

599
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 5: because they they're still with me four years in, so

600
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 5: they must they must like me a little bit of something.

601
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 5: But yeah, we must be doing something right to keep

602
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 5: them here. But yeah, I think, you know, that was

603
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 5: something we talked about. Is you know, what who are

604
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 5: we what are we going to be about? I think

605
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 5: culture is, you know, how you act and interact, you know,

606
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 5: not just as a team, but the team with with

607
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: your coaching staff and and so we you know, we

608
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 5: set in kind of a we called it a war

609
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 5: room at the time, but it was essentially just a

610
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: big conference room and we you know, we talked through

611
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 5: all these different things that that we wanted to show

612
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 5: up and resonate within our program, and we nailed or

613
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 5: came to you know, unity, grid, integrity, and joy being

614
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 5: our four kind of core four principles of what we

615
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 5: wanted our culture to be about. And I agree with you, Cheryl,

616
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 5: it's not it's not just like you can't just teach

617
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 5: those things, but it's also like you you've got to

618
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 5: embody those things and be the example of those things

619
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: so they know what it looks like and and have

620
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 5: a north star if you will, to follow. So but yeah,

621
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 5: we talk about out teaming the other team all the time,

622
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 5: how they can show up and love on each other

623
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: in a unified way.

624
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: You know.

625
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 5: Grittiness is just you know, competitive stamina and you know,

626
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 5: doing the little things and you know, being the tougher team.

627
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 5: And uh, integrity is doing what you say you're gonna

628
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 5: do and you know, even long after the mood you

629
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 5: said you would do it in and and I think

630
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 5: joy is is just you know obviously just just having

631
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 5: fun with with playing the game that we all love.

632
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 5: So but I think what made our team last year

633
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 5: so special is like anytime you watched us, and not

634
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 5: just last year. I want to speak, I guess on

635
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 5: on all the years and all the teams. But I

636
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: thought when you when you win a championship, you embody

637
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 5: what what you are culturally in the best possible way.

638
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: And I felt like you saw all four of those

639
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 5: things resonate in different ways. You know, every time you

640
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 5: interacted with us or watched us play, which I was

641
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 5: really proud of.

642
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: Did you feel a sense of relief? Was it like, ah,

643
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: finally I did it. We did it, we got it done.

644
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: Like was it relief?

645
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: Was it motivation? Was it validation? Like what was what

646
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: was going through your mind when you won the championship?

647
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it definitely is really fray. Like I mean,

648
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 5: it's it's just so you put everything into it, and

649
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 5: you know, and it happened fairly quickly, right, so you

650
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 5: you know, one would think that we're a little greedy

651
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 5: in terms of, you know, what we're trying to accomplish

652
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 5: so soon. But as soon as we got here, we

653
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 5: talked about hanging banners and it not being done in

654
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 5: so long and making it history and making more history

655
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 5: if you will, And we did it, and you know,

656
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 5: we just really tried to soak in the moment and

657
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 5: just be present and just celebrated as much as we

658
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 5: could for as long as we could until we had

659
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 5: to turn the page. But yeah, it was, it was,

660
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 5: you know, honestly surreal. But you you work so hard

661
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 5: for that moment. And I've been a part of championship

662
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 5: teams as an assistant, but there's nothing like it, you know,

663
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 5: it being yours and being the head coach of it all,

664
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 5: playing coaching, you know, as a head coach for my

665
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 5: first time in the n CUAA tournament like just just

666
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 5: such a blessing and you know, couldn't have envisioned it,

667
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 5: you know, any better.

668
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: And in a and in a short time, in a

669
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: short time.

670
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 4: I love girl, I love that.

671
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: I love that.

672
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,120

00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: like uh, February, March, because the season will by the

687
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: time April May gets here, like we're out of college

688
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: basketball season at this point.

689
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 5: But here.

690
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm saying my last question, but I

691
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: may come up with another one based off of your answer.

692
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just a firm believer and I both and

693
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: we talk about this on the show a lot, and

694
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: like see her be her and having women like lead

695
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: our young girls and women, and so for you to

696
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: be in this position, first of all, I'm going to

697
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: say thank you for being that leader. But my question

698
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: for you is how has coaching women like changed or

699
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: shaped your definition of what leadership looks like versus when

700
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: you were a player.

701
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 5: Wow, you know, I think at the time I was

702
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 5: I was looking up to so many others to your point,

703
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I was watching you right, do what you do,

704
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 5: and and you know just what it takes to be

705
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 5: a pro and how to carry yourself. You know, as

706
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 5: a pro no matter what you're doing, meant a lot

707
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 5: to me. And I tried to do that as a

708
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 5: player right and hold myself to this standard because you know,

709
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 5: I saw so many others doing it at such a

710
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 5: high level and I just aspired to to be that

711
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 5: and to do that. And so now, you know, being

712
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 5: a head coach, I feel as if, you know, I

713
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 5: take great pride in showing up consistently and leading our

714
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 5: young women in the best possible way. And I feel

715
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 5: like I'm so intentional about everything you know that I say,

716
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 5: how I interact with them, you know, how we practice.

717
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 5: You know, everything that I bring to the table within

718
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 5: this program is well thought out and means so much

719
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 5: to me. And I feel like I would be doing

720
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 5: the program the university them, you know, as players, as

721
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 5: young women, a disservice if if I didn't own it right,

722
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 5: like this is you know I joke about like I

723
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 5: used to have hobbies. Now it's like I could care less,

724
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 5: like this is this is my hobby because it essentially

725
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 5: is is my baby right, Like, I just want to

726
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 5: to do it so well and so yeah, I just

727
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 5: I feel like I owe it, you know, to them,

728
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 5: to pay it forward and give them an example of

729
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 5: what leadership needs to look like.

730
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: Well, tee, I am going to follow up with something sure,

731
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: and this will be my last one. So in hearing

732
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: all of that and knowing how stressful this job can be,

733
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: how do you unwine? How do you what do you

734
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: do when you're like, I got to get away from

735
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 1: this for a minute because we all have that time

736
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: and and need that time for sure.

737
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 5: For sure. Yeah, you know, I just just was home

738
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 5: with my family in Detroit. You know, I've got a

782
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 5: next step that we're trying to accomplish as as a team.

783
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 5: You know, I felt like last year, obviously winning a

784
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 5: championship is a great accomplishment, but but we want to

785
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 5: be consistent, you know, contenders in this league in terms

786
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 5: of trying to win championships, and you know, we're we're

787
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 5: currently on a bit of a roller coaster right now

788
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 5: in terms of this particular season. You know, we're sitting

789
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 5: at six and six and you know, really trying to

790
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 5: I think, find our groove and find ourselves. We've had

791
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 5: you know, you lose you know, seniors like Harmony and

792
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 5: our other senior, Lena Rodriguez and you know Mona, we're

793
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 5: such incredible leaders for us and and so now you know,

794
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 5: coming back with this team, you know, we have to

795
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 5: really figure out, you know, who we are and what

796
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 5: we're going to be and what we're going to stand for.

797
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 5: And I think that that doesn't need to we don't

798
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 5: need to figure that out today luckily. Yeah, I think,

799
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 5: you know, our conference place starts in two weeks, and

800
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: if we can continue to just you know, really climb

801
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 5: the ladder and just get a little bit better every day,

802
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 5: I feel really good about where we can be. But yeah,

803
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 5: we we just we we want to we want to win,

804
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 5: and that's just that's how we show up every day.

805
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 5: It's not just about the outcome. It's more about the process.

806
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 5: And if we can buy into the process consistently, I

807
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 5: feel good about, you know, what we're doing. And for

808
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 5: me too, like I think it's very easy. You win

809
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 5: a championship. Everybody, everybody's asked me, like where are you going?

810
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 5: Who's what job you take in? It's like, you know,

811
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 5: I'm yeah, It's like it's like can I just be

00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 5: you know, for a consistent amount of time. And I'm

815
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 5: still learning, I'm still growing, I'm still being stretched in

816
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 5: a variety of ways, and so I just want to
