Faith, family, education, friends, and football.  Those are the five priorities that Bronco Mendenhall seeks to instil in the football players that he coaches at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

Mendenhall, who took on the job as head football coach for the BYU Cougars in 2005, is in New Zealand this week speaking in a number of locations to youth, young adults, parents and youth leaders.

Mendenhall insists that his players not only meet high athletic standards, but he makes sure that they are also highly focused on academic achievement and are men of high moral character. 

This week he will speak in Mairangi Bay, Manukau, Kaikohe and Whangerei.

Brigham Young University is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
