You missed significant ones at Stanford. Two former players, both of them past standouts -- Katy Steding and Kate Paye -- are coaches and a more recent player, All American Jeanette Pohlen, is on staff in a player culture sort of role.
Thanks for reading, and I really appreciate your comment, Joan. The players you mentioned are among so many great examples of alumni who return as coaches or in other staff roles every year, but I decided to focus the article on former players who returned for this current season (within the past six months). Hopefully, more players will continue to return to their alma maters since there are tremendous benefits for the schools, teams, players, and fans.
Great article. So fun to read!
Thanks!
