per WCCO:
Melvin Anderson came to Minnesota to play football for the Gophers, and that meant a tutorial from Lou Holtz.
“The master motivator,” Anderson said. “They called me ‘Melvin Luther King’ on the team because I give them speeches. I discipline with speeches. I got a five-minute speech, a 10-minute, I got a 30-minute!”
Only Anderson’s game is to develop track-and-field athletes. His program, Track Minnesota Elite, has a goal: provide a summer program that will lead you to a scholarship.
“Our goal ultimately is using track to help kids get college scholarships, to ultimately become and live a vibrant, adult life,” he said. “It’s not about track and field, it’s about what does your future look like 20, 30, 40 years from now. And we’re going to use track to get there.”
