Aneesah Morrow embraces leadership role with LSU Tigers

Aneesah Morrow has been dominant on the court this season, but her effort to expand her impact in leadership hasn’t gone unnoticed. As one of LSU’s standout players, Morrow has embraced the challenge of becoming a vocal leader, a quality coach Kim Mulkey has encouraged her to develop.

In an interview in October last year, Morrow mentioned how Mulkey encouraged her to be more of a leader as a senior on the Tigers squad.

“I’ve sat down and talked to coach [Mulkey] all the time about it,” Morrow said. “She told me she wants me to be more of a vocal leader. She knows that I lead by example and my teammates will follow, but she wants me to be more verbal, and that’s something I’ve been working on in practice.”

Morrow acknowledged that being a vocal leader is a different kind of responsibility. It’s a challenge she’s taken seriously, dedicating herself to improving in practice and growing more comfortable in this new role.

“I’ve gotten a lot better at it actually,” Morrow said. “And just seeing that growth and feeling comfortable because your coaches are putting that confidence in you to be more vocal and more of a leader.”

Her commitment to becoming a stronger leader wasn't just about fulfilling her coach’s expectations; it was about being the kind of teammate others can rely on. For Morrow, leadership meant being someone her teammates trusts and enjoyed playing alongside.

“I’m taking on the challenge to be the best teammate that I can,” Morrow said. “To be the captain that I need to be because I know my teammates will love to play with me. I want to be that teammate where, if it’s a two-on-two and you’ve got one more person to pick, you want me to be the first person you pick.”

Morrow’s growth as a leader is a reflection of her dedication not only to her own success but to the success of the entire LSU Tigers.
