Those Who Stay
by Curt Stephenson

This book is about the dream of a young boy to one day play football for the great Michigan Wolverines and their lengendary coach, Bo Schembechler. It is a true story. The dream unfolds and the most unusual journey begins. The book takes you into the locker room, out on to the field, to playing in front of hundreds of thousands and millions on television. You'll be on center stage at the Rose Bowl and witness all of the oddities that surround major college football from the eyes of the boy who had the dream and became a man, by adopting one of the coach's vision statements, "What the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve and those who stay will be champions."

Curt Stephenson played football for the University of Michigan from 1973 thru 1977. He was a member of four Big Ten Championship teams and participated in one Orange Bowl and two Rose Bowls. Mr. Stephenson was honored as a two time Academic All Big Ten in 1976 and 1977.
