Student-Athlete Check In: Hannah Brown - Field Hockey

In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis in America, students were forced to adapt to a completely new way of life with online learning. The Student-Athlete Check In takes the time to catch up with Millersville's student-athletes to see how they are adjusting to their new normal. Today we touch base with field hockey's Hannah Brown to see what she has been up to these days.

What was your first reaction when you heard that classes were moving online?
Brown: "I was honestly excited at first to get a break and have some time off to relax from classes, practices, lifts, and meetings, but then I started to worry about how I would balance all of my classes online. I was also worried about our world and had no idea what effect it would have on our nation."

How have you been adapting to online learning?
Brown: "I think zoom is hilarious. It's so funny seeing everyone at home chilling. So I like it. It hasn't been too bad so far. I already had a couple online classes before, so I was pretty comfortable using D2L. Plus, I can do my work without getting out of bed all day so that's cool."

What have you been doing to remain active and healthy at home?
Brown: "Not gonna lie, I didn't do anything active for like two weeks, but now I have realized that I need to start working out or I will not be beach-body ready when this quarantine is over. So now I have been running outside, going to my high school turf and hitting around, and going on walks at night."

What have you and your family been doing during this time together?
Brown: "Well I wake up at like 11 except when I have class, so I see them for breakfast and then I just chill, do homework, watch Netflix, online shop, ya know, what everyone else is doing. We always eat dinner together and then after we play games for awhile. We play this one card game called pinochle and we're pretty much obsessed with it. It's literally all we do. I have a pretty big fam and they're so loud so it stays interesting and fun."

What is one thing you miss most about Millersville?
Brown: "I miss my friends and the team a lot. Shout out to my roommates, miss u guys. I miss Upper Deck a lot. Great place to go after practice to eat the calories that I just burned off. And I miss Saxby's, especially the veggie cream cheese."

How have you, your teammates and coaches been keeping in touch?
Brown: "We've been doing weekly zoom meetings and talking through group me almost every day. I Miss them. My favorite part is getting to see Shelly's dog, Finn, on Zoom."
