Prior to taking over for the Wildcats, Bridget spent seventeen seasons at Fordham University. This all coming after her own success playing career at Villanova. Topics include: the increased knowledge-level of student-athletes and how that affects recruiting and relationship building, the evolution of a young coach and what goes into the learning process, why it's important to not get too high or not too low with your emotions, what it means to treat people differently but also treat them fairly, and how to connect with a team individually but also in a wider-team setting.
