When Jenna Kean was a freshman last year, she hardly made a sound when she moved around Hillenbrand Stadium.
When she’d place her bag near Coach Mike Candrea in the dugout, she wouldn’t acknowledge him. When she’d duck into the Lapan Center, she’d keep her head down, eyes forward.
Eventually, Candrea reached a tipping point.
“Finally I said, ‘Jenna, can you say hello? Is that too much to ask? Are you having a bad day? You get up on the wrong side of the bed? We expect you to be present and say hello and know who’s around you,”’ he told Kean.
