Management 101 - Coach Lou Holtz
By Bob Chmiel
Surround yourself with good and talented people and don't worry about who gets the credit.
Many of us have heard this management lesson, but in reality how many of us have seen it in practice?
As my time at Michigan began to wear down, I began hearing from friends on the staff that a couple of assistant coaches believed that I was getting too much credit for the recruiting success that we had achieved. There was not a thing that I could do about it, so I basically chalked it up to that wonderful term "jealousy."
This was at a time when recruiting coordinators were really coming into vogue as architects of recruiting classes. Was there a great deal of publicity about a No. 1 class? Yes, and I was the recruiting coordinator. Perhaps in the eyes of a few of those guys, the media should have interviewed the electricians in the building. Read More>>
Q&A with Luke Schindele
NCSA caught up with football standout Luke Schindele about his high school career and the opportunity to compete at the college level.
NCSA: What motivates you before a big game? Do you have pre-game rituals?
Schindele: What motivates me before a game is all the hard work my teammates and I have put in during the previous week of practice. Rivalry games are also easy to get up for. My rituals are to get a good stretch in before anything, listen to my music and hold a ball in the locker room.
NCSA: What are you looking forward to if and when you get the opportunity to play college football?
Schindele: Just playing college football. It’s a lot faster more intense and I’m ready to see what I can do against the best in the nation.
NCSA: Why did you get involved in football?
Schindele: I love to compete, and soccer wasn’t cutting it for me anymore and my family thought I would like football. So I went out and tried it and fell in love with it. Read More>>

Lowe is a prefect blend of size and athleticism. Bill Conley, former Ohio State recruiting coordinator, says, “Lowe is a prefect example of what college coaches are looking for in their Offensive line recruits.” At 6’5” and 295 lbs, initially its Lowe’s size that grabs your eye, but the reason Lowe has established himself as an All American is his level of athleticism.
