If you’ve ever watched the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch, you know that the term Ohana means family — and family means that no one gets left behind.
A term also used by new head coach Clarisa Crowell when describing her team culture philosophy, Ohana defines the team as a family.
The Ohana philosophy was described by Crowell in her introductory press conference after being named Penn State's new softball coach on Aug. 3.
Crowell, a native of Hawaii, describes her childhood as one where she and her family lived by Aloha and Ohana — and how it has translated to a team philosophy.
