Posted Apr 19, 2017
On Monday , Brooke Copeland walked into her final interview as a member of the Florida women’s basketball team. It wasn’t what she once imagined it’d be. She talked about getting engaged. She hugged and waved and showed off her diamond to friends passing by. She explained why she was giving up basketball — the game she’s played since childhood — to try and make a difference in the world.
