Katie Cross was born with rugby, likely in the womb first ? , but definitely since the spry young age of 5 when her Dad, an Irish scrum half himself, registered her for a tag rugby league. She played through her youth & into college, recovered from 2 major ankle injuries, & found herself burned out on rugby after college. When she rejoined at the women’s club level, her relationship to rugby changed completely & in a way that she’s dreaming the transition to coaching, following in her Dad’s footsteps.
Sus & Katie Cross chat in depth on Katie’s college rugby life at JMU, on being an experience player among newbies, & how coaching is so nuanced. They also jump in & out of how influential Katie’s Dad, the one & only Rusty Cross, has been part of her rugby journey all along the way. Don’t miss another round of 2 Truths & A Lie all the way at the end! What height lock is the shortest you’ve known?
