So I can't wait. I can't wait for things to start going. I can't wait to get in the thick of the season. And I'm just excited to start playing with this team, Like, I think that we have the chance to do something really fun this year, so to be able to really start that process. Can't wait. Okay, well, you guys look good. I mean, you spank that team, y'all. It was I mean, it was practice out there. It was practice, all right, all right.

00:01:25
Speaker 2: I'm just saying as someone who was viewing, you know, I haven't been, you know, to that many Yukon games in the last couple of years, So me pulling up, I was like, whoa, it's really magic. So I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the start of your season.

00:01:38
Speaker 1: So, you know, the listeners have been writing and asking.

00:01:41
Speaker 2: They try to guess every week who we're going to have on, So we've been dropping hints and we haven't really been explaining. So the last episode we had Sue on, and then we dropped three emojis, which was like a soldier with like a hat, a nose, and a rainbow. The soldier represented that picture of super when she had that big fuzzy hat on and she was wearing like, I don't know, it was like a red that like guard outfit. Yes, the guardfit, which is why we had that one. The nose emoji was about her breaking her nose five times, which is insane. And then the rainbow we talked about it on the episode, but you know, we talked about her being out in you know, proud and just like that journey through college and coming out so.

00:02:25
Speaker 1: Beautiful, hints Ashanti. So good. Well, thanks me and the team. We also had other clues you want to talk about them. Yeah, So my profile picture in the text group chat was from the panel that I did with Sue this past summer. And then in that same panel was when Sue and I kind of teased about having the pod. She asked if I would ever have a pod of my own and my answer was you're gonna have to fut around and find out. And then another one was the time stamp in it was twenty two military time, which is same as her grad year two thousand and two. And then there are also ten text messages in the chain her number, and then there was also a green battery for green for the Seattle storm. Here you go.

00:03:08
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like that was enough for those who were super stumped. I was like, I get why you're confused. But there was a couple of people who actually got.

00:03:15
Speaker 1: It, and I was like detectives, FBI hire them.

00:03:19
Speaker 2: No, seriously, So now we have a special guest who's going to be joining us.

00:03:23
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. It's always a special episode, but it's always extra special. Whoa, it's always it's always a special episode, but it's extra special when one of my teammates are on. So today we have the extra special Caroline ducharm whoa, Hey Caroline, Hello, thanks for having me, Thanks for joining us.

00:03:47
Speaker 2: Yes, Caroline, so you are called the Silent Assassin.

00:03:52
Speaker 1: Where did you get this nickname?

00:03:55
Speaker 3: Honestly, it probably started our freshman year when we both got here. I don't think I said like three words like until like four months and maybe so.

00:04:05
Speaker 1: That's that's where it came from. I forgot that that was your nickname. I did too, Honestly, She's not silent anymore. No, But why did you only say like three words? Were you nervous or scared? I was just really quiet. I don't know.

00:04:20
Speaker 3: I really only talked to Asy and the other freshmen. I talked to Vina a little bit, but like it wasn't no, I wasn't very out there.

00:04:30
Speaker 1: Wow, I really forgot about that. You were superchol. I was really quiet, yeah, and then I was just the kuders. Yeah.

00:04:39
Speaker 2: Okay, well things have changed now you've definitely grown into yourself.

00:04:44
Speaker 1: Let's take you back, Caroline. Can you tell our listeners a little bit more about your background?

00:04:48
Speaker 3: So I'm from Milton, Massachusetts. I have an older sister and a younger brother, and they both played basketball, so we grew up playing both. My parents played coached us their whole lif so we grew up just playing in the backyard, playing horse before school like stuff like that. And then most importantly, my dog, Lola.

00:05:10
Speaker 2: She's an English mass and she's okay with her. We're definitely gonna need a picture I want to see for sure. Okay, so you grew up playing basketball. Did you always want to go to Yukon or is this how did you end up here?

00:05:26
Speaker 1: Honestly?

00:05:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think growing up in New England as a girls basketball player, I mean I grew up in like the Stewey that whole era, So I feel like I was just always in awe of Yukon and I was obsessed with them when I was younger. But then when I started actually going through the recruiting process and actually you know, trying to figure out where I was going to go for real. I didn't want to just comit here because that's what I wanted to do when I was seven. So you know, I did the whole thing. I went on the visits, I talked to coaches seriously. I looked at a lot of other schools seriously, but I just was always coming back to coach in Yukon, and yeah, it just felt right, So I came here.

00:06:04
Speaker 1: What other schools were you thinking about?

00:06:06
Speaker 3: By the end, I was down to Oregon, Tennessee, North Carolina and Yukon.

00:06:11
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you anywhere else. No me, I think about that too. I'm like, I can't imagine if I had gone anywhere.

00:06:18
Speaker 3: Why'd you pick Yukon? What set you kind of for I think just the culture here. Obviously Coach there's nobody like him, So I think just I wanted to play with and against the best, and I wanted to be.

00:06:33
Speaker 1: Challenged every day. And I love.

00:06:35
Speaker 3: Just like the culture of success and the standard that we have here, and I was just always drawn to that expectation of you know, excellence and perfection and everything that we do.

00:06:45
Speaker 1: So I would say that is what you know stood out.

00:06:49
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's talk about your family. I know all your families played basketball. Growing up, I had the opportunity to, you know, chat a little bit with your sister. She shared some funny stories about you. You know, she's older than you. You always sticking around playing with the older kids. She did share one story about your you know, determination when it comes to playing and wanting to play with the older kids.

00:07:14
Speaker 1: Do you want to share that story? I don't know what story she's talking about.

00:07:18
Speaker 2: It was one where you got pretty sick and you were like, I guess, throwing up in the hotel, and then I guess your older sister team.

00:07:28
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, go ahead, let's tell it from your words.

00:07:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, I must have been. I think she was in sixth grade, so I was in fourth grade, I think, And yeah, I growing up, I wanted to be just like my older sister, Like I wanted to wear.

00:07:45
Speaker 1: What she wore. I wanted to do what she did.

00:07:46
Speaker 3: I was like that little sister that was like attached to her hip. So when she started playing basketball more like obviously I wanted to do what she did. And then I obviously like found my own love for it. But when I was younger. I used to just her team around and like fourth grade, you know, your season ends at like you know, reasonable time, and then the older kids get to keep playing into the summer. So I would just like follow them around and sit at the end of the bench and if they were up by a million, like their coach would you know, throw me a bone and I'd get in for thirty seconds or something like that. And so yeah, I don't remember exactly what it was, but yeah, it was at some tournament over the summer and I was sick.

00:08:24
Speaker 1: I was throwing up like all morning, all day. I was throwing up at the bench.

00:08:28
Speaker 3: There's like a picture of me like in my uniform, like the longest shorts ever, just like over.

00:08:33
Speaker 1: The trash can.

00:08:35
Speaker 3: And my coach was like my dad was the coach, and then the other coach was like a good, really close friend of ours, and he was like, you know, like we're up by a lot, like this might be the only time she gets to go in, and my dad was kind of like, no, it's.

00:08:48
Speaker 1: Okay, and I was like, no, I want to go in. I want to go in.

00:08:50
Speaker 3: And I was throwing up everywhere, but I got my thirty seconds of fame.

00:08:54
Speaker 1: I went back to the trash can. So you're really the same person.

00:08:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was really gonna say, like super resilient even now playing at you got I want to know, Ezy, what it was like like your freshman sophomore year playing with Caroline.

00:09:11
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is that Caroline is actually one of my longest friends. I mean, obviously besides like people I literally grew up with, but given that we're not from the same area, I think as soon as we met, we became friends, which was seventh grade. Yeah, Blue Star. You met at Blue Star in seventh grade, and we she was like the first person I met in my class that played basketball and was high level, had the same mindset, and we just clicked were best friends since I was pretty immediate. So I just don't like my longest friend now seventh seventh grade.

00:09:45
Speaker 3: Seventh grade, so now, and because there wasn't a lot of people in our grade at the camp, it was only like a couple of us. Wait, did I just map that seventh grade? Eighth, ninth, tenth, not using your fingers to count? This is our fifth year. Yeah, that's ten years. Oh my god, that's crazy. We're going on ten years. We were like fourteen or that's nuts.

00:10:07
Speaker 2: So how'd you feel like freshman year her committing to Yukon with you, what was that like?

00:10:12
Speaker 1: Well, Carolin was the first in our class to commit, so she was kind of recruiting me, not kind of, she was recruiting me to go to school with her, and that she was part of the reason why I came. I mean I came for the same reason she did. The coaches, the standard here, wanting to play with and against the best every day, being coached by the best, but then having that extra incentive of being able to play with your best friends. Like not many people go in to a college either with someone or knowing someone already there, So that was an extra just bonus of getting to play with two of your best friends. And it's been a little different than what I imagined when I committed, but that has still been really special. I mean, going through everything we've done or we've been through, being able to have each other buyer sides through it has definitely made it a lot. Not but just being able to handle it has been easier. Having people that you love and no love you and have your back.

00:11:13
Speaker 2: Absolutely and all of us know what it's like to come back from injury, Caroline, can you tell us a little bit of like how that started. I know that you've you've gone through quite a bit when it comes to like head injuries and things.

00:11:26
Speaker 1: Like that, since they even like knees and shoulders. I was going to say, and I was. I was there, Yeah, Asy was there when I tore my a cl in Wow my fresh year, I think, yeah, in ninth grade at Bea Williams, And I literally remember she was on the opposite on the faceline and then I went, you know, in the little like tournament trainers, and it was just me and easy because I don't think my parents had come over yet, like they were still trying to find the way.

00:11:56
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh my gosh, Ezy was right there with me. Yeah, and through it all.

00:12:02
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:12:03
Speaker 3: And then ten years later, so there had a bunch of concussions that led to head injuries and TBIs and all that. But yeah, I'm feeling good now getting there. It's obviously a process. You know, concussions are really scary. I think they're very under talked about in sports, especially at a young age. I think you hear about them so much with football and you know, hockey and stuff like that, but you don't necessarily think that it's going to affect your life so much like as a basketball player.

00:12:39
Speaker 1: I don't know, I was never really that.

00:12:42
Speaker 3: Educated on concussions, and I never thought it would take over my life like it has. But I would say, I'm trending up. Yeah I'm feeling good obviously. Yeah it's you know, it takes a while, but I'm feeling good.

00:12:56
Speaker 2: So this is the best I felt in years. So she looks amazing too. Okay, I was gonna say perfect timing. But for those who don't know, like what the concussion process or rehab looks like, could you walk us through that?

00:13:10
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:13:10
Speaker 3: So mine it kind of changed at the more that I got of them. But at the beginning, I don't honestly know the exact number, but.

00:13:21
Speaker 1: A lot, I would say, a lot, like over three, over five.

00:13:25
Speaker 3: The numbers not yeah you know, but yeah, first it's hard because obviously as an athlete, especially I had gone through other surgeries and other injuries where you know, when you're frustrated, and as Asy knows, like, you just do rehab and you just constantly do rehab and it kind of helps ease your mind that like you are getting back, you are getting back, but with concussions, you can't.

00:13:50
Speaker 1: Really do that so much. It's so much about rest and not not doing too much and letting your brain heal. And so at first it was a lot of that stuff, which was really frustrating because you know, obviously as someone who wants to be out there, you don't feel like you're doing much, but it is helping.

00:14:09
Speaker 3: And then kind of the more I got, you know, the more symptoms I had, the more they kept piling up, becoming a TBI, I kind of needed to do something different, and that's when I went down to Florida to AVIV, which is the Brain Rehabilitation Center, and that's where I got like real rehab, real work, and that's honestly when I started to see a difference in my recovery.

00:14:34
Speaker 2: Okay, amazing, Thanks for talking about this, Caroline. I know that's tough. Like of course, even talking about I've tore my ACL even talking about that when I was playing, it's kind of like people don't get it. It makes you want to quit and you just have to decide that you got to push through. So I can't imagine having multiple concussions, because one thing is like, Okay, your knee, it can heal, you'll be able to you'll be fine. Your brain is like a whole different ballgame. So yeah, no, that's the serious part.

00:15:07
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, Carol, I've noticed in practice that you look a lot more confident and just sure of yourself. Like you look you really look like you're getting back to your old self, like cutting, being in the paint and not worrying about things, being able to just play more free. I'm curious is that how you feel as well? Is that also what's going through your head? Yeah, I definitely think that I'm thinking about it. Lest I think when I came back last year, you could tell I was kind of like three point line and out, like I wasn't really trying to go in there, and I think that was just kind of just to get like my feet under me. And now I feel like I'm trying to actually, you know, play I don't want to just like be out there.

00:15:44
Speaker 3: I want to actually, you know, make an impact. So I think, yeah, like I've definitely felt more comfortable with it. It's definitely still a processing so I sometimes I find myself like so flinching or stuff like that, But I do.

00:15:55
Speaker 1: Feel like i've you know, come a long way with it. How do you think you've kind of made that progression because I feel like even very very different, like not trying to compare knees and heads and eat knees and brains. But I feel something that everyone goes through is like that fear of re injuring yourself, regetting hit. But I feel like in your case it's just like a little bit scarier. So how do you get over that? It's like the fear is always there, it's always a possibility, but you can't think about it, and then when you try not to think about it, you're thinking about it.

00:16:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think honestly, like this summer, having got like bumped or like a little hits, and I was okay, Like you know, the first few times, like whenever I get hit, everyone's like are you okay?

00:16:37
Speaker 1: Are you okay?

00:16:38
Speaker 3: And for a second I'm like, oh, shoot, like am I okay? And then I'm good. So then I was able to like keep going. And you know, for a while I was used to like getting little bombs and that would set me back for a week. So I think, yeah, just getting those little hits or like, you know, having contact, being like, oh wait, I'm actually good, like I'm healed.

00:16:56
Speaker 1: I think that's helped my confidence. Obviously I do think about it, but no, yeah, I think that's definitely been what's helped me.

00:17:04
Speaker 2: So now that you're back on the court and you're feeling more confident, I see that you wear a headband often.

00:17:11
Speaker 1: Why do you do that.

00:17:12
Speaker 3: It's just like for a little added protection. I don't know how much it really does, but just think if I get hit in that area, it kind of helps me to, you know, have a little that's kind of usually where I would get hit is like along the front or like on the sides, and it's you know, it's helped a little bit.

00:17:28
Speaker 1: I don't know that definitely that it really does too much, but it's like a little safety.

00:17:33
Speaker 2: I guess it's like a nie sleeve or a knee brace if you have an injury there.

00:17:38
Speaker 1: So I guess, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, ladies.

00:17:41
Speaker 2: You guys are coming off a national championship and I know there was recently a ring ceremony and you guys were the scene. Well the older group who helped design the ring. What went into designing those rings? Honestly a lot more than I was expecting.

00:17:58
Speaker 1: I kind of thought that they were just gonna kind of do it and then get our approval. I didn't know that we were gonna have that much say in it, so that was kind of fun. It was, Yeah, I was not expecting all of the yea, all the little details. Yeah, all the little things. Was the shape of the little diamonds, the shape of the ring, what do you want do you want the like the top to come off? What do you want to say here? Here, here, and here? Do you want there to be a trophy where they put on numbers? It was just so many details that I didn't even think about. But it was really cool. I was happy that we were able to do that. It worked out really good. It looks incredible good. I mean it was beautiful. It was blinking Wait.

00:18:42
Speaker 2: So they didn't have like a template for you, guys. They literally made you just like you had to come with ideas. They just had a million options of stuff.

00:18:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a bunch of options, but you could mix and match any of the different options. So like every every detail and every piece of writing and design, there was like five options for that.

00:19:01
Speaker 2: Okay, well, yeah, did y'ad big one because it was amazing.

00:19:05
Speaker 1: It was beautiful. All Right.

00:19:07
Speaker 2: You guys are also going into your final year at Yukon. You guys, how does it feel having to step up and be leaders or like, has your role changed from last year?

00:19:18
Speaker 1: I think it is kind of crazy that we're fifth years.

00:19:21
Speaker 3: I feel like in some ways I feel like we just got here, but you don't really realize it until you're talking about stuff and then they're like, oh, wait, age, it was only one else that was here for that, it's like just us. I mean, for me, I think my role has changed just because I didn't play for the majority of last year, so I was like a little bit removed from stuff that was like going on in practice and on the court. But I do think that it's helped me this year because I feel like last year the year before that was like my only impact, So I made a concerted effort to be like super involved off the court. So I think it's helped me this year to you know, still have that and.

00:19:57
Speaker 1: Then also be playing. Yeah, Caroline is that teammate that anyone and everyone goes to whenever they're sad, happy, upset needs something. Truthfully, I don't know how she does it. That is a draining job. There's fifteen of us, so it's fourteen other people in this team that you basically take care of. So to have that energy and always be there for everyone always impresses me. But she is, like when she says that her role the last few years, like she's really tried to embrace like being there for everyone off the court. Not only does she embrace it, like she like I can't even I know, but like seriously, I can't explain it because she's always the one making sure that like are you okay? Are you doing well? Like I noticed this. She just notices everything about everyone and takes care of them, and it's not easy to do, especially like she has a million things on her plate with rehab, school, basketball, trying to figure things out, and so to always have that extra time for everyone else has always amazed me.

00:20:56
Speaker 2: Okay, Caroline, you've become like the mom of the team. That different for you being a little child.

00:21:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually kind of, because yeah, I feel like as a child, like as a kid I was, my sister was always I always say, like when I'm with her, like I just want to have like empty head and just like follow her around, and I really do that with her. But now it's like, yeah, I think it's probably weird, probably weirdest for her to see me in this role because she's like, I've taken.

00:21:25
Speaker 1: Care of you.

00:21:28
Speaker 2: She should be so proud all the things she's done you now and body for your team.

00:21:33
Speaker 1: So that's awesome. Oh, that's a really sweet way to look at it. I know. Okay, Cairl, So being from Boston and playing at a high level, you've gotten the chance to play with a bunch of other professional and collegiate BASHL players. What's that been like being able to play with people like Ronica Burton, Taylor Soul, Janee CRuMs and others. Yeah. I think basketball in Boston is very underrated.

00:21:56
Speaker 3: I think that we don't really get a lot of like the high level, you know, high profile athletes coming out of Boston. But I think during COVID, I mean, all these people like I grew up playing with when I was younger, but then during COVID, when everything was shut down, is when we kind of made a concerted effort to you know, be able to come together. And we couldn't play, we couldn't travel, we couldn't go anywhere else. So we would every morning at like six, we'd play pick up literally every day, and it was just really fun to be able to, you know, have those Everyone went to different schools in different you know areas, but to be able to come together and play and you know, we hadn't most of us hadn't played together since we were like, you know, ten, So especially for me because they were all older than me. So to be able to push each other during COVID and be able to you know, have that environment and community I think really helped.

00:22:45
Speaker 1: And it's continued on after the quarantine was over. That's super cool. Do you still talk to a lot of them? Yeah, most of them. Yeah, that's amazing.

00:22:53
Speaker 2: Okay, so I kind of I kind of have like a little pivot. When did you decide like you wanted to play basketball, because you know, your sister tells a story that you were into musical theater at first.

00:23:07
Speaker 3: I was the rose and beating the beast. It was a very huge role and I took it very seriously. Wait when when was this? I have a picture somewhere. I think I was in like second grade. I was little, like I was a little rat at this time, and I was.

00:23:25
Speaker 1: I need a video. I definitely have a big kind of picture. Yeah.

00:23:29
Speaker 3: I had like a little like like to too, and like it was like a little like Ballerina thing, and I had like the pedals and you know the rose. The rose is dying, so I had like the pedals falling. It was a dancing roll. Yeah, you react. I just like went like this, like the pedals were falling, So I just like went like that. But it was a it was a crucial role. I mean, you can't have beating the beast without the rose. So it was like it was my main role. But then I think everyone was happy when I kind of pivoted to basketball. I still played basketball while I was doing the rose, but yeah, then I kind of left that.

00:24:17
Speaker 1: No, I don't say your dance or anything. I think we need to bring perform. No, say I think it's good good in the past. Definitely need a video though. No, my mom definitely has a okay good Yeah, please we need videos and pictures absolutely, Okay, Carol, let's talk about school. A lot of people don't know what your major is. What are you majoring in?

00:24:41
Speaker 3: So I just graduated with a degree in Human development and family studies.

00:24:47
Speaker 1: Wait, when did you just graduate? I got my degree? Congratulations. I had no idea congrat thank you, thank you? Wow, look at you. I got congrat. I got a notification. I was sent to the house. It's all the matter. Come yeah, yeah, I need to see that, you know, the real proof writing. Yeah. So what are you doing now? So now I'm just taking classes certificate? Yeah yeah, it's just a bunch of classes. Wow. Wait what development Family Studies? Yeah? Okay, why did you choose that? I'm going to do something?

00:25:22
Speaker 3: Honestly, I just kind of liked it because I feel like you can do a lot of different things with it. It's all about like relationships and people and how you know, people like interact with each other and how to work with other people.

00:25:35
Speaker 1: So I feel like I could really use it in a lot of different ways. Absolutely.

00:25:47
