Winning Off the Field

Holy Cross Gridiron Leadership Council Mission: committed to excellence in helping Holy Cross Football win on and off the field.  

How do we define "winning off the field"? Well, let's look at a few Crusaders who were recently profiled in some widely distributed periodicals. We relish in their success but more so in the manner in which they carry themselves.    

1. To know this Crusader is to love him. . . he was recently interviewed in the Boston Business Journal. When asked whether he had a motto, this most loyal Crusader said, 

"The more you do for others, the better you do for yourself. I pretty much stole that from St. Ignatius of Loyola." 

Lessons Learned from the Playing Field

To know him is to love him. . .
All you need to know about this most loyal Crusader can be summed up in his answer to this question:
Do you have a motto?
"The more you do for others, the better you do for yourself. I pretty much stole that from St. Ignatius of Loyola. The crazy thing is if you get up in the morning and do well for others, abundance shows up somehow."

Crusader Football Family

Fellow 'saders,

1. Recap of Spring Game/Alumni Game/Barbecue

Springtime is not only a time of rebirth but a time for reunions. Our fabulous extended Crusader Football Family kicked off a busy 6 week period this past weekend with a great gathering at the annual spring game/alumni game/barbecue. To all who attended I know you share my sentiments as to how exciting it was to see our 2012 contingent flying around Fitton Field. It was a great day to reconnect with old friends, including Scottie Persechino '84, make new friends, such as Bill Cambria, and see true Crusader diehards, Rick Cohn and Mike Guilfoile. . .amongst a very large crowd of loyal and faithful fans and family. Welcome to all the incoming Crusader freshman and families who came from far and wide.

Fellow Crusaders,

I hope and trust that this message finds you all doing well. There are a number of items to address so let's dispense with the formalities.

1. Spring Football Game/Post Game Barbecue : two weeks from this Saturday on April 14th. Always a great take and a chance to see the up and coming stars wearing purple. Please RSVP to LuAnn Hennessy in the Football office if you plan on attending the reception and if you want to get involved in sponsorship opportunities. Thanks in advance and see you there!! For those serving as mentors, come see your scholar-athlete both on and off the field.

2. Alumni Game: who's still got it? who still thinks they got it but never really had it? and who will be the biggest and baddest talker on and off the field? Who has already signed up to play? Profuse thanks to Dan Adams '07 for leading the charge in this effort. Still looking for more warriors. Look at the QB at the bottom of the list who just inked a contract to play for the alums. That's what we're talking about.

Battle of the Ages---2012 Alumni Game!!

Fellow Alums,

I hope everyone is having a great week and I wanted to quickly send out a quick email for the Alumni Game/Spring Weekend coming up on April 14, 2012.

I know we are 6-7 weeks away, however, I wanted to ensure that everyone marks off their calendar so we can properly defend our Alumni Game title.

I would be willing to help in anyway I can, arranging travel or answering questions that may come up. There will be discounted rates on April 14th at the LaQuinta Inn in Auburn for those coming in from out of town! In the meantime, I wanted to send you a link from last year's alumni game and some tools to use if you are planning to get back in shape in 2012.
