On episode 196 I am joined by St. Leo Guard and Irish international Amy Duggan.
Amy is originally from Cobh in Cork where she grew up playing basketball and camogie locally. She dreamed of playing college basketball in the states and following in fellow cork woman Edel Thornton’s footsteps.
Amy developed her skills in the gym with extra individual practice sessions outside of her club team in Cobh.
Her work paid off as she experienced success domestically and earning her spot on international squads.
Opportunities to pursue basketball in the United States began however right before she signed with St.Leo she tore her ACL in 6th year.
However this didn’t detour Duggan she attacked the rehabilitation process and was named to the U20 Irish squad which marked her first game back since her injury.
She spent one year at Junior college and this season began at St.Leo despite a coaching change.
Amy’s story is a lesson in resilience and drive as she overcame so may obstacles to achieve her dream of playing college basketball.
This is Spotlight Her — where we celebrate the athletes, the journey, and the game.
