More from The Q&A: Danielle Robinson
Here’s more from The Q&A with Oklahoma point guard Danielle Robinson:
Jenni Carlson: Talk about your older brother for a second. I know you’ve said that Jonathan has been a big part of your development as a basketball player.
Danielle Robinson: He’s been a huge part of my life, especially during high school. We played at high schools that were kind of rivals. He went to an all-boys school, and my school was co-ed, but they still didn’t like his school. They would come play our boys, and I’d kind of have to cheer for my brother. (Laughs.) But he’s always been there for me. Before each game, he sends me an inspirational quote or just a text message letting me know who I’m playing for and what I need to do to be the leader on the floor. His little inspirational messages have been great. I’m really excited that him and my dad are coming to St. Louis. It’ll be the whole family.
JC: So, what did your brother text you before the Elite Eight game?
DR: He actually sent me a quote from Coach K, something about leadership. It was talking about how the leader, regardless of good or bad, has to have that good face and has to have that good leadership mentality. We have to put our phones up an hour and a half before the game, so right before that happens, he’s always sending me a text. I know it’s coming so I’m always waiting for it.
JC: And you know he’s taking some time to go find something to send.
DR: He’s putting some effort into finding quotes like that. He’s awesome.
