Kate Koval's Search for Home

In this special episode of The Athletic Women's Basketball Show, Chantel Jennings brings you the story of Notre Dame freshman forward Kate Koval. Kate grew up in Ukraine, and moved to the US, solo, at age 15 to pursue her dreams of basketball stardom. Less than a year after she arrived, though, Kate's world was upended again, when her home country was invaded by Russia, rending her family apart in ways she could have never imagined – and forcing Kate, and all those around her, to reconsider the true meaning of sacrifice.Audio clip credits:LuHi vs St Joseph By the Sea game tape provided by Long Island Lutheran High SchoolNews reports on war from: ABC, BBC, MSNBCJoe Biden speech in Warsaw March 2022 - WH.govKate Announces commitment to Notre Dame from Instagram (@kateekoval)Art image credits: Cal Sport Media via AP Images, Spencer Platt/Getty Images, Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images, Koval Family, Fighting Irish Media __No Offseason is a part of The Athletic Podcast NetworkEmail us: [email protected] up for the No Offseason newsletter!YT: @No-Offseason IG: @tanooffseasonTikTok: @no_offseason Hosted on Acast.
