Fun Facts About Jillian
What stick do you play with and why do you choose it?
Osaka Probow Tour 100 - After testing many different sticks I found this Osaka strikes the balance between control and power. The high carbon levels help me hit long over distance and the touch on-ball feels controlled and light.
What glove do you use and what do you like most about it?
Osaka Armadillo glove 4.0 - As a defender who is often low, I need a glove that protects my hand and knuckles well. This glove does that while remaining light weight and the open hand grip allows me to retain full stick handling abilities.
What shin guards do you use?
TK T2 Shin guards - I chose these shin pads because they’re protected and light weight. They take a few trainings to break in, but they molded to my shins well.
What grip is currently on your stick?
TK Chamois Plus Grip - I prefer the chamois, specifically TK’s, as it is soft and absorbs sweat so my hands don’t slip and it is not too thick so I can easily keep hold of my stick.
What’s your go-to game day hairstyle?
Recently I have gone with the middle part, bun. I like my hair to be securely pulled back and the bun keeps any loose ends out of my eyes.
Do you have any pre-game rituals?
I keep every game day the same. Depending on what time the match is, I always start with a bit of game-plan review. Next, while going through a few stretches, I have a 10 minute imagery audio I made which helps me be present and mindful before the pre-game chaos begins. Then as a team we eat our pregame meal and it’s time to head for the pitch.
