It takes a particular type of doggedness to take these sorts of risks and really make things happen, and Stewart has that doggedness in spades.

[digital tone] First time we played at Yasawa High School, Danicia was the captain.

The Yasawa team wanted to play our girls one more game, but Danicia felt the team had reached their physical and psychological limit.

I asked Danicia if she thought they could play, wanting to hear her say yes, but she said no.

I vacillated in my mind about trying to persuade her to change her mind, but I decided to trust Danicia's decision-making.

That sticks out in my mind.

It was an opening to allow more trust for my leadership team.

In these moments, Stewart faces it head-on but allows for reflection.
