Good am! In my 25 years of coaching, this is a first. I just received a handwritten thank you note from a top prospect…thanking us for her visit and recruitment over the years and good luck on our season. Extraordinary human being! 🙏🏾 she’s a @GamecockWBB for all of our sake!
I recently rewatched Legally Blonde (2001). This is what I noticed.
The fact that Elle creates an ethic of care all around her is incredibly feminist (believing Brooke and not betraying her trust, getting previously hostile rival Vivian on board, advocating for Paulette and treating her as an equal).
Elle doesn't win on ruthless male terms, she operates more ethically.
She creates a supportive community out of an initially hostile and isolating environment, and in that space all the redeemable characters thrive.
Essentially, Elle is an incredibly effective coalition builder.
