College Basketball at Notre Dame

Here is a video recapping our 2001 National Championship!!

My college decision proved to be one of the toughest choices I had to make. When it came down to it, I knew that Notre Dame was a perfect fit for me. The transition from high school to college was a difficult one. At the beginning of the season, I was the last person to come into the game. One lesson my mom taught me was perseverance. I have always been a goal-oriented person, and I knew that if I worked hard enough things would turn around. My four years at Notre Dame proved to be an amazing experience. Winning a National Championship my senior year was a storybook ending to my collegiate career.
