About the presenter:
Coach Gerry Faust was one of America's most winningest high school football
coaches, and preceded the legendary Lou Holtz at Notre Dame. In this
inspirational talk Coach Faust relates the dramatic stories from his own life
to illustrate the direct connection between our personal success, our prayers,
and our faith and trust in God. Recorded before a Catholic men's conference in
Kalamazoo, MI. Mr. Faust is on the Advisory Board of the Catholic Men's
Fellowship and a former football coach at Notre Dame University and Akron
University. At Moeller High School he earned recognition as one of the
country's top high school coaches. Mr. Faust has become a popular speaker at
Catholic men's conferences across the U.S. where he presents the impact his
faith has had on his life. Faust began as a three-time letterman quarterback
at the University of Dayton. His 18 years of coaching at Moeller High School
in Cincinnati (1963-80) produced a 174-17-2 record to go with seven unbeaten
seasons, four mythical national prep titles and five Ohio state titles in his
last six seasons. He coached Notre Dame to a 30-26-1 record, including a 1983
Liberty Bowl victory and an '84 Aloha Bowl appearance, before resigning at the
end of the 1985 season. Faust spent the next nine seasons (1986-94) as head
coach at the University of Akron and finished with an overall record of
43-53-3 at the school. This DVD is a great gift for men who need inspiration
and a lift from one of America's great football coaches. Valuable
encouragement, training, and great entertainment.
