  <itunes:subtitle>In this powerful episode of "Called", Father Mike Schmitz sits down with legendary football coach and devout Catholic, Lou Holtz.
Together they explore the urgent challenge of forming the next generation in faith and character. Coach Holtz shares timeless wisdom drawn from decades of leadership on and off the field—his famous three rules for life (“Do what’s right, do your best, and show people you care”), the importance of making good choices, and the lasting impact of faith, family, and responsibility.
From stories of his coaching days at Notre Dame, to lessons learned in the military, to personal reflections on marriage, loss, and legacy, Holtz offers a heartfelt testimony of hope, perseverance, and purpose. This conversation is a masterclass in faith-driven leadership, reminding us that true success is not measured in wins but in lives formed and hearts changed.
