In this episode, I meet w/Mishawaka High School head football coach Keith Kinder deep in the bowels of historic Steele Stadium. Hear how he balances the rich tradition of the program with today’s kids, & how he hopes the relationships they build propel them to success! You'll hear Coach Kinder's passion shine as we talk about his journey, the football team, and its relationship with a tradition filled passionate community.

Last week, you heard all about Mishawaka High School’s Steele Stadium.  We learned that it was built by Mishawaka residents at a time when many families were uncertain where their next meal was coming from… during the Great Depression.  It provided Mishawaka with something bright to rally around, when everything else seemed so dark.  What they might not have known, is that they were building the foundation of a tradition… the tradition of a high school football stadium that 80 plus years later still stands tall just a stones throw from Mishawaka High School.
