Becca Bruszewski played basketball at Notre Dame from 2008-2011 and helped the Irish reach their first Final Four in ten years.  Becca talks about growing up in Valparaiso, Indiana, as the youngest of 4 kids, her outstanding basketball and volleyball career at Wheeler High School, the recruiting process, and what led her to choose Notre Dame.  She also talks about the transition from high school to college basketball, a successful Freshman season, breaking her finger and having surgery, but only missing 2 games, and being a consistent, reliable player.  Becca describes what it was like being a captain with Brittany Mallory her Senior year, the moment that turned that season around, the exciting run to the Final Four, playing with an injured knee, and beating Tennessee and UConn.  She also talks about her successful professional basketball career overseas, coming back to Indiana and coaching, and what it's like to be the varsity coach at St. Joe's High School while also working a full-time job.
