We make a contract with each player that all personal glory will come because the team does well. Every guy on our team is 9-1. Every guy on our team feels good, whether he is a starter or a backup or a guy on the bench. Individual honors come about only when someone else selects them.<br><br>BFS: Since your school doesn t offer scholarships, how do you attract good athletes?<br><br>JS: We make our living off the guy who might be an inch or two too short, or a step or two too slow, to get a scholarship. Also, it should be recognized that there are a lot of good football players who want to play college ball but who are not offered scholarships. We try to contact every high school and every prospect in the entire state, even if they are going to be offered scholarships. Because, the fact is, some of those guys are overlooked on national letter days, and we re the school that s been talking to them. It s also the visit that makes the difference we re friendly, we offer an opportunity to come to a small school and get a lot of individual attention, and we have a beautiful campus and a multimillion-dollar athletic complex. At Methodist College we go out to meet the clientele, and a lot of them are people just like me. I m from the coal mines of West Virginia, and these guys are from the cotton mills and the tobacco farms, and most of them are first-generation students so we get some kids who are at risk academically. Once they get here, we try to work with them. We ve had many success stories of kids who were not that great in the classroom in high school, but who managed to stay in college. Here, our first priority is to get a degree, and then to play football at its highest level.<br><br>BFS: Has your emphasis on education benefitted your football team?<br> <br>JS: That s how we got better as a football team we kept our kids in school. I remember back when we started we had only one senior on our squad; now we have classes of 12-14 and the numbers are growing every year. I think when it gets to the point where we have 20-25 senout the country who were sponsored by York, whereas almost all Schmitz s athletes were from the San Francisco Bay Area and were dues-paying members at Schmitz s gym. Proving the victory was not a fluke, the Sports Palace team went on to win seven more national titles.<br><br>A Legacy <br>of Strength<br><br>Asking Schmitz who his favorite lifters are is like asking a father which of his children he likes the best - he just can t do it. Schmitz was willing, however, to describe some of the best qualities of each of the following Olympians he has trained.  Ken Patera was the absolute strongest, Bruce Wilhelm [the first American to snatch 400 pounds] trained the hardest, Thanh Nguyen had the most natural talent, Ken Clark had the most determination, and Mario Martinez [415 snatch, 513 clean and jerk and a silver medalist in the 1984 Olympics] had the most success. <br>In addition to developing new talent, Schmitz was also able to rejuvenate the careers of many liy professionally is very remote. Besides, if you re good enough, even at this level, the pros will know about it. <br><br>BFS: Is it true that at a smaller school players have the advantage of
