'Behind the Ball', a new interview series from Basketball Ireland in support of the 20x20 campaign drops today!
The series features 20 current and former players, coaches, referees, dual code players, members of the media and females involved in leadership both in Ireland and internationally in a quick-fire interview style.
Rachael Vanderwal, one of the greatest imports in Irish Basketball, is the first person up. The former Donoughmore, Limerick Sport Huskies and current Team Great Britain player’s interview will be followed by former basketball, rugby and GAA star Louise Galvin.
Basketball Ireland then cross over to the United States to hear how Irish U16 international and Singleton SuperValu Brunell star, Michelle Ugwah, is getting on playing basketball with Bella Vista Preparatory School.
It's not all players and we look at the people who help to promote women in sport like RTÉ 2fm Game On presenter Marie Crowe.
Don't forget to tun in to After School Hub as Coach Emer shows off her skills and her exercise routines.

You can check out the 'Behind the Ball' series every Thursday on Basketball Ireland social media channels - YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter at 5pm.
