Jan shares story of how simple, yet powerful a few words of encouragement can be inspiring. 

Born in Fetsund, in the county of Akershus, Norway, NFL Hall Of Famer, Jan Stenerud came to the United States as a college student, on a ski jumping scholarship to Montana State University in Bozeman. 

In the fall of 1964, Stenerud was training for the upcoming ski season by running the stadium steps. That day, he was cooling down from a workout by kicking a football with injured halfback Dale Jackson. Stenerud had played soccer as a youth in Norway, and his right leg's prowess was observed by basketball head coach Roger Craft, while he walked to the nearby Fieldhouse. Craft notified football head coach Jim Sweeney of the Norwegian ski jumper's kicking abilities, and Sweeney offered him a tryout, which was successful. 

Though ineligible for football competition that season, Sweeney encouraged Stenerud to suit up with the team for the final home game of 1964. Following the ski season, Stenerud joined the football team in 1965 and as a junior that fall he kicked a 59-yard field goal, then a college football record. 

He was named an All-American by The Sporting News as a senior in 1966, and was also an All-American in ski jumping and a three-time Big Sky champion. Stenerud was one of the first professional football players to be used as a dedicated kicker, because of his excellent "sharpshooting" ball-kicking performance. 

He was one of the first placekickers to use the "soccer style", a technique the Hungarian-born Pete Gogolak had recently introduced in the AFL. During his first three years as professional, the last seasons for the AFL, Stenerud hit 70% of his field goals, compared with a 53% average for the other kickers in the AFL and NFL.
