Manage episode 435387662 series 3554267
Dianna Russini joins Diggin' Deep!
Dianna opens up about the major career decision she recently made, leaving her long time position at ESPN for The Athletic. In the midst of this huge change, Dianna also had her 2nd child. She talks about the work-life balance of being a mom and one of the top NFL reporters in the country.
One of the athletes Dianna has become close with in recent years is Saquon Barkley, who just went through a dramatic breakup with the New York Giants to join their divisional rivals in Philadelphia. Dianna expands on what it was like interviewing him in his first on-air appearance since the move, and why Saquon trusted her so much to help him tell his side of the story.
Dianna also takes us on a trip down memory lane, from walking onto her college soccer team to climbing the ranks in news to get where she's at in sports.
