Leadership Comes Natural to Jasmine Thomas

During a particularly grueling stretch in a recent practice, Jasmine Thomas noticed the team wasn’t quite executing a defensive drill to its standards.

It’s not that they weren’t playing hard. Far from it. But for Thomas and the Sun, it’s the small stuff – the details – that will end up making a big difference when the season starts in May.

“We’re going to keep doing this,” Thomas said to the team, firmly, but with encouragement. “We gotta get this right. C’mon, let’s go!”

On the surface, it might not seem like that big a deal. But for a team as young as the Sun, it absolutely is.

Immediately afterwards, the team reset and practice was elevated to another level.

Like someone flipped a switch.

“It’s definitely a conscious decision by me,” Thomas said in regards to her role as a leader. “Being a veteran on this team, I try to be both vocal and lead by example.”
