Описание к видео How Football Culture is a Playbook for Life | Jacob Schmidt | TEDxNorthwesternU

Success for student athletes today isn’t measured simply by the number of games won. Jacob Schmidt shares how championship culture builds better athletes, students and most importantly, people both on and off the field. After a remarkable playing career at Northwestern that saw him go from walk-on to starting running back, Jacob was named Director of Player Development in March of 2012. In this role, Jacob coordinates all aspects of players’ off-the-field experience at Northwestern, including NU’s alumni mentoring program, leadership council, internship and full-time job placement, and overall academic success. A native of Rhinelander, Wis., Jacob was a key contributor to what became the winningest senior class in Northwestern Football history and led the program to a then school-record four consecutive bowl games. A Capital One Academic All-American in 2011, Jacob completed his undergraduate studies at Northwestern with a degree in human development and psychological services before earning a master’s in higher education administration and policy from NU in 2014. Jacob currently lives in Highland Park with his wife, Hallie, and son, Emmett. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
