MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (September 8, 2005) — High school football coach Joe Ehrmann, a former Syracuse University All-American and football star for the Baltimore Colts, will be at Milligan College next week talking with area coaches and athletes.
Tagged by Parade Magazine as “the most important coach in America,” Ehrmann incorporates his Christian values into a coaching style that emphasizes “relationships and having a cause beyond yourself.” His Gillman ( Baltimore , Md. ) team consistently produces championships and players that compete at the college level. At the core of his success is the philosophy that football is not only about winning, but it is also about building men.
The subject of New York Times bestseller “Season of Life,” written by Jeffrey Marx, Ehrmann serves as president for Building Men for Others (BMO), which seeks to “transform sports into positive influences that shape relationships, ultimately transforming men and women who will then transform society.”
On Wednesday, Sept. 14, Ehrmann will conduct a workshop for coaches and leaders in Derthick Lecture Hall. A general session will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Seeger Memorial Chapel for local high school athletes and coaches, Fellowship of Christian Athletes members, Milligan students, and interested members of the community. A $5 donation is requested but not required. Sponsorships are available.
Hosted by Milligan College, Ehrmann’s visit to the Tri-Cities is the result of collaborative efforts between local coaches and community members. The event is sponsored by Holston Valley Imaging Center , Sullivan Rehabilitation Center and Watauga Orthopedics.
