Carlie Irsay-Gordon is the new principal owner of the Indianapolis Colts .

She wears a headset on the sideline, listening to the rapid-fire staccato of the coaching staff calling plays, adjusting the game plan.

She also spends time on the practice field, positional meetings and in 1 -on-1 conversations with players.

"She’s always got her big notebook, always taking notes, always asking questions about the game," says Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner .

After a decade on the headset, she feels much better prepared to make those choices. “I would suggest it for anybody else who has to pay coaches and GMs millions and millions of dollars,” Irsay-Gordon said. “It helps you make a less expensive mistake, potentially.” Get IndyStar 's Colts coverage sent directly to your inbox with our Colts Insider newsletter..
