Coach Faust Bio
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.
