Matt Schrader '91

I had the pleasure of playing for the shaggy red bearded, golf club carrying, red Subaru driving Jay Martin. In other words, "Old School" Jay Martin. Back then, Jay was a bit more of a disciplinarian, focusing on fitness and hard work. His competitive nature showed up on and off the field. In fact, I played pickup basketball with Jay many times where he was downright nasty. He wanted to win, at all costs, a pursuit we both shared.

To me, one of Jay's many gifts is his ability to understand and nurture each of his players, while always fostering the ideal that team and teammates always come first. I credit Jay with showing me that no one person is greater than a group of men focused on a common goal.
