In her ‘Calm Down Podcast’, Andrews talked about the gentle nature of Daboll, as she said, “You are going to freaking die for him. He sits with the groundkeepers before practice. He goes and hangs out with them because his grandpa was a groundskeeper, and he has so much respect for them.“

In her podcast, Andrews revealed that Daboll talked about learning some things as well. He was in the coaching circuit for more than 25 years. “He said that ‘when people, you have to say ‘hi’ to everyone. Because when you are in this role and people say hi to you and you don’t say hi back, it affects their day,’” Andrews added more.
Another piece of advice Daboll gave to Andrews is, “‘When you are at this level and people walk through your door to talk to you about something, it is the most important thing on their mind and it has been bothering them for weeks and they have wanted to talk to you about it and they finally have… And even though, he may have 700,000 things going on, he needs to realize that is the most important thing on their mind.’“
