“If I’m going to be honest, I was a little pissed off at how quiet everybody was on the sideline,” Fuller told Cronin. “We made a first down, and I was the only one cheering and I was like – what the heck? What’s going on? And I tried to get them pumped up, and I was like, ‘You guys need to start [cheering] your team on.’
“My main thing was during the SEC tournament, my entire team was cheering the entire time. It didn’t matter if we were in the locker room or if they were on the sidelines, I think that’s what won it for us. Everybody was cheering non-stop. I just went in there, and I said exactly what I was thinking. I was like, ‘We need to be cheering each other on. This is how you win games. This is how you get better by calling each other out for stuff, and I’m going to call you guys out.’
“We need to be supporting one another. If we get a first down, if an interception happens, it’s our fault. We need to be lifting each other up. That’s what a team’s about. I think this team has struggled, and that’s been part of it,” she continued.
“We really just need to build that team camaraderie where they can all lean on one another. It was an adjustment going from that team mentality where – hey, we’re all here supporting one another, and I just wanted to bring that to this team.”
Fuller says she hopes that her speech ultimately helped her gain her teammates’ respect.
“I hope I gained their respect,” she said. “It wasn’t ill-intentioned at all, I just want this team to succeed and do well. I’m a Vanderbilt student-athlete. I want all our sports to succeed. I call it how I see it, and I’m not going to BS anybody. Didn’t want to BS them.”
It remains to be seen if Vanderbilt’s next football coach ultimately permits Fuller to serve as the team’s kicker as well.
They’re 0-7, for crying out loud, how much enthusiasm do you want?
I saw a soccer goalie at a D3 school kick the ball the entire length of the field, in a single bounce. She had Thor’s hammer for a leg.
The next year she was the placekicker for the football team—she had used up her Soccer Eligibility, so she turned to football for a grad year.
She had the strongest leg of any kicker I had ever seen.
And she was “into” the game from the sidelines.
There is nothing wrong with that. Noting wrong at all.
