They are the personality of this team. Collectively, they have a list of accomplishments that could wallpaper a den. Stinson has been the heart and soul of the Sting since its inception, and Staley has played on two gold-medal winning US Olympic teams. Take Dawn, she's been playing forever and her knees aren't the greatest. She has no fear.
Stint is the same way.
There's no space for slacking. It's the simplicity they bring to the game. Their leadership is not about showing what they've done, but about helping us achieve the most as a team. That Staley and Stinson don't expect deference from their teammates and coaches is refreshing. And the fact is, they don't get it from the coaches, which went a long way to helping the team gel.
