Micah Shrewsberry on Coaching with Purpose

Micah Shrewsberry began his career just a few miles away from Notre Dame’s campus in a coaching role that required him to drive the team bus and wash the players’ jerseys. From those humble beginnings, Micah has steadily climbed the ranks in a career that has taken him to the coaching staffs of the Boston Celtics, USA Basketball’s U19 Men’s National Team, and now Notre Dame men’s basketball as the Glenn and Stacey Murphy Head Coach.

In this episode of For Good, Micah reflects on how the game has changed with NIL and the transfer portal, how Notre Dame Athletics maintains its unique identity, and why he’s committed to building a sustainable, successful program the Notre Dame way.

Tip off the new basketball season with us as Micah shares why Notre Dame’s player development approach appeals to exceptional student-athletes—and how his team is creating a strong, distinctive culture that will soon have the Fighting Irish competing for championships.

New episodes of For Good: Stories from Notre Dame drop on select weekdays at giving.nd.edu/stories and the ND Loyal YouTube channel. You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

A sincere thank you to the Notre Dame family for making stories like these possible! It’s because of you that Notre Dame is such a powerful force for good in the world.
