This direct approach, combined with her extensive experience, makes her a valuable asset to the team. Another player, Lindsay Allen, also a guard, spoke about the impact of Charles' professionalism: "Seeing how she carried herself and how she handled herself as a professional. She carried a lot on her shoulders for that team, and she never took nights off." This dedication and commitment are inspiring to her teammates.
