The journey includes what it takes to be a Michigan Football player. The life lessons help contribute to the overall persona demonstrating the physical, emotional, inspirational, and mental aspects required to be part of one of the greatest institutions in the United States. This body of work involved speaking with former players, current and past coaches, friends of Michigan Football, research, and personal experience. If you truly want to look for the sources of the material, you can count on Bo Schembechler and Bob Ufer being at the top of the list. These two icons helped shape this writer. Simplicity, Sincerity, and Enthusiasm were instilled at a young age and there is no let up as time passes. Please don't turn away just because it is all about Michigan Football. The lessons can translate to any school that strives to continue great traditions and that includes O H... Yeah, sorry can't do that!
