Daily News | Villanova’s Maddie Burke ‘excited to be here’ after transferring back home from Penn State
“It was a very hard decision,” Burke said of choosing Penn State over Villanova. “I was also in a very different time in my life. Being in high school and then actually going through being a student-athlete in college is very different.”
“Even starting in the summer, being home and being able to go to the beach with my family and little things like that.”Family is paramount for Burke. With a father who played professional basketball overseas and a twin sister, Allie, who plays volleyball at American University, sports have always been something the family has bonded over.— Allie went to Central Bucks South — but they always made sure to balance their competitiveness with support.
“He always encouraged me to be better,” Burke said. “Be better school-wise and obviously basketball. He loves basketball, so just teaching me what he knows.” Despite those struggles, Burke proved herself as a freshman, and her Central Bucks West coach, Zach Sibel, is confident that she will find success again at Villanova.“I think her knack for understanding the game really puts her above other players and puts her in a position to be really successful,” Sibel said. “She has a high IQ and allows that to go with her talent.
Burke’s focus has never been on individual statistics. In fact, both Sibel and Villanova coach Denise Dillon agree that Burke can sometimes be too selfless.
