On the November 16th, 2019 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Sports Saturdays, host Angelo Di Carlo interviews Bobby Kloska for our Focus on Faith segment.

Bobby Kloska may not be a name you recognize because he’s not a former Notre Dame football or basketball All-American. He’s a former Irish golfer who graduated from Notre Dame in 1990. He’s 52, married and the father of 5 kids.  In 2003... at the age of 36, Bobby was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Cancer. His story is an inspirational one because he’s defeated cancer 3 times and has had to endure 25 surgeries in his life. 

He’s also a diehard Notre Dame football fan since he was a kid and as you will hear from his story---there’s a lot of crossover in how Notre Dame football has played a role in his life through all the battles. He’s a devout Catholic who views his battles with cancer as a blessing. Think about that. Cancer as a blessing. 

A few weeks ago, he had surgery done on his vocal cords for the 19th time. The surgery was done at the University of Michigan two days after Michigan crushed Notre Dame. That’s where our conversation begins.

On the November 9th, 2019 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Sports Saturdays, host Angelo Di Carlo interviews 2009 Notre Dame football captain and safety Kyle McCarthy. McCarthy grew up Irish Catholic and returned to Notre Dame in 2014 as a graduate assistant coach with hopes of one day becoming Notre Dame's head coach. But he quickly learned that he had stage 3 testicular cancer. He says his Catholic faith helped guide him through those difficult times. Now he's married with a 2-year old and this week announced he was five years cancer free. Kyle is now an NFL agent, saying his cancer battle made him want to have more stability at home instead of going into coaching. It's an inspirational interview you won't want to miss.

That's what Mike does more than 100 times a year as he travels the country speaking to Catholic schools. Hear why it means so much to him.

With the Irish football team on the bye, we spent a good chunk of time talking about the Irish basketball programs including a 1-on-1 conversation with women's basketball coach Muffet McGraw who is going through something this season she's never had to before in her career--replacing every single one of her starters. It's a talented group that will take the reigns this season and Coach McGraw explains who they are and how she will have to alter her own mindset throughout the season with such a young group.
