Triumphs From Notre Dame

What does it take to be a student-athlete at Notre Dame?

Sports fans think they know what it takes to be an athlete at a Division I college: the training, the discipline, the pain, the motivation. But most of us have no idea what it takes to be a successful student-athlete at a top academic institution such as Notre Dame.

In "Triumphs From Notre Dame: Echoes of Her Loyal Sons and Daughters," the third book in Lisa Kelly's "Echoes From Notre Dame" book series, Lisa details what it takes to be a successful studentathlete at Notre Dame: the dedication, determination, and drive that Our Lady's student-athletes need to find success both on and off the field.

For the first time, Lisa includes female student-athletes as she tells the stories of a diverse group of Notre Dame student-athletes from multiple sports: football, basketball, hockey, baseball, golf, women's soccer, women's basketball, women's track, and a Notre Dame student manager; and details their journeys to, through, and beyond Notre Dame including:

- The lessons they learned in college, and how those lessons changed their lives via the Notre Dame Value Stream
- Their years at Notre Dame
- The end of their collegiate and professional athletic careers
- The new careers, dreams and achievements following their Notre Dame years

Notre Dame changes the lives of Her students - and these student-athletes changed life at Notre Dame.

"The University of Notre Dame affords those who are blessed to attend a phenomenal opportunity. Not just in terms of personal accolades or successes, but rather in the fundamental growth and development of individuals as they journey along a path that will undoubtedly change their lives forever. Lisa perfectly captures the spirit of this journey through the eyes of my Notre Dame brothers and sisters in the eloquently written Triumphs from Notre Dame - Echoes of Her Loyal Sons and Daughters. Outstanding!" -- Oscar McBride, former Notre Dame Tight End
