Here’s a video of Bud Grant talking about the early years. In the first minute he talks about the respect he has for the flag, and how he made all the guys line up, hands on their heart, helmets all held the same way in their other arm, etc.
Watching other videos of him, I didn’t realize how great of an athlete he was. Football star as a pro. Played for the Minneapolis Lakers (Basketball)when they won a championship, minor league(?) baseball, etc. He had polio as a kid! His doctor told his parents “The best thing you can do is get him a baseball mitt and ball and get him outside and play!”
Bud Grant, a Wisconsin native, also coached four Grey Cup championships in Canadian football, and played three sports at the University of Minnesota. Still lives in Wisconsin resort country.
