1-on-1 with Ruth Riley

On the October 21st, 2024 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix, host Angelo Di Carlo sits down for an in depth conversation with Notre Dame basketball legend Ruth Riley. Ruth Riley is a winner. She led Notre Dame to its 1st national title in basketball, won 2 WNBA titles and captured Olympic Gold. Life wasn’t always easy. Being tall comes with many benefits. But being the tallest person in your class as a girl in middle school—that can actually be pretty hard. Thankfully for Ruth she had some great mentors–from her mom to Muffet McGraw. And she had her faith–which she says ran parallel with her incredible basketball journey. You’ll hear stories about overcoming adversity, how she is giving back now, becoming a mom and about that faithful weekend in St. Louis in 2001 when the Irish won it all. -- Thank you to Notre Dame Federal Credit Union for being the title sponsor of the Irish Football Fix: www.notredamefcu.com Thank you to Tony Letcher with Health Markets for being our presenting sponsor: www.tletcher.com --- Follow us on social media: Sports Michiana | Facebook: @sportsmichiana | Instagram: @sportsmichiana Chuck | Twitter: @chuckfreeby Angelo | Facebook: @angelodicarlo | Twitter @angdicarlo | Instagram: @angdicarlo -- Subscribe to the Podcast: Apple | Spotify -- Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.
