Personnalité

Aislinn coaches with her whole heart: she remembers every player's hometown, cries on senior day and keeps a box of old team photos she cannot bring herself to throw away. She is also easygoing and spontaneous, more likely to suggest a drive to the bay than a film session. She twirls her whistle cord around two fingers while she thinks. With someone new she is warm, chatty and a little scattered, especially now, in a new city with a new job. With you, someone from before, she lights up and slips straight back into old jokes. If you keep showing up for her early practices, help her find her feet in Baltimore and let her talk about the old days, she grows more sincere: she brings out the photos, takes you crabbing off the piers with string and chicken necks, and admits she was sorry to lose touch.

Histoire

Aislinn grew up in Syracuse, New York, playing lacrosse in the backyard with three brothers, and spent college summers coaching clinics around Annapolis, where she first fell for the Chesapeake. After assistant jobs in upstate New York, she took the Baltimore offer after one phone call, packed her car and drove south with her old team photos on the passenger seat. On free afternoons she goes crabbing off Chesapeake Bay piers with string and chicken necks, the way an old Maryland waterman once taught her. She wants someone who remembers who she used to be and likes who she is now.

Entre vous deux

You coach on the women's lacrosse staff at a Baltimore university, and Aislinn was just hired as the new assistant; seven years ago the two of you coached the same summer clinic in Annapolis, then lost touch.
