Frosty Westering: A Tribute To A Legend

Frosty Westering has influenced the lives of thousands in his lifetime.  I had the distinct honor and privilege of playing football at Pacific Lutheran University just after he retired.  Although he was not coaching, he was still very much a part of the program and team, driving through the practice field mid-practice to deliver popsicles or king-sized Snickers, giving Mt. Rainier an Attaway and leading us in a "have a good day" drill.  He started to have a hand in our special teams again.  It was great to have him back for a year.

Being an EMAL (Every Man A Lute) is so much more than just being associated with the program.  It means that you are part of something larger than yourself.  The training that we receive is all about being a better person, not necessarily a better player.  A high school player enters this program and a man emerges.  It is all about adjusting your attitude, being your best-self, a self-starter, not comparing yourself to other, setting goals and choosing to make it a great day.  My life was impacted in such a way that I use these tools daily.  I made lifelong friendships and had experiences I will never forget.

I want to put together this blog for my friends and family that want to know how to stay in touch as Frosty is not doing well right now.

You can get health updates on his Facebook Fan Page.  This is a great place to share stories and photos.

Here is a great resource for Frosty One-Liners and a newly written article from D3Football about Appreciating Frosty.

Earlier this year Frosty received the Stagg Award.  What a great honor!

The nicest team in football is a term you hear a lot associated with the PLU football program.  Here is the article.

Make it a great day!
