00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.090
>> My name is Charlene Morett and
I'm the Head Field Hockey Coach here

00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:05.050
at Penn State University.

00:00:05.050 --> 00:00:07.570
I've been the Coach here for 25 years.

00:00:07.570 --> 00:00:11.550
When we come upon the season
it's my day and night, actually,

00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:13.290
so I can't say I work just my days.

00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:20.130
Like it's getting up early and come to work and
preparing, looking at film from the day before,

00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:25.550
whether of our competitors and maybe of
our games and then preparing practice.

00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:29.200
A lot of times you're interacting with
the trainers, with trained coaches.

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:34.210
What you're going to do as far as conditioning
strength aspect of that practice might include.

00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:38.730
It's then setting the goals for
practice, setting the practice plan

00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:41.130
and then going to practice 1/2 an hour early.

00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:45.390
Anybody wants to be there early to work on any
type of skill development or just talk to me,

00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:47.390
I'm always there 1/2 an hour early.

00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:52.640
And then when practice starts it's you know full
steam ahead for probably about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.330
When practice is finished that evening, I
feel like I'm always watching more game tape.

00:00:57.330 --> 00:00:59.330
I love game day, look forward to it.

00:00:59.330 --> 00:01:02.590
It gives me chills going to the locker
room, just to interact with my players.

00:01:02.590 --> 00:01:03.890
I love that part of it.

00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:10.150
When I go in that locker room to meet my
team, I'm so excited, so fired up for the game

00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:13.560
and just so excited for them, just
to have the opportunity to compete

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.790
as Penn State against our next competitor.

00:01:15.790 --> 00:01:19.390
So it's such a privilege
and it is such an honor.

00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:24.570
And I think you know obviously
with the memorial to Joe last week,

00:01:24.570 --> 00:01:28.260
I think we all had a great
swelling of pride about this school.

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:30.810
I think that we're very resilient people.

00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:33.050
I think we're very loving people.

00:01:33.050 --> 00:01:37.510
This is a very caring community, caring
university, extremely special place.

00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:41.740
And again, I think the world saw
just how special Penn State is.
