Q&A with captain Lindsay Browne

Q: How would you say you take on that leadership role that comes with being a captain? Is there specific ways that you do so?

A: “I think I try to always keep it positive and keep cheering people on. I think it’s a really big part [of being captain] and making sure that players don’t get down on themselves. Whether it’s telling someone where they go [on the court] or if someone misses a shot saying “oh, keep shooting!”; just trying to make sure everyone stays positive and keeps the energy up.”

Q: How would you say being a captain has been different from being a regular team player?

A: “As a captain, it’s a lot different in terms of how much communication you have with the coaches. We have more insight into the team and can give them information about adjusting how we practice.”

Q: How do you hype yourself up or get ready for games?

A: “I like listening to really energetic music. We have a warm-up playlist that we always listen to. I think it’s always been hyped up for me, having to watch the JV game before my game gets me in the mindset.”
