The Leader: EP01

Before Cade McNamara joined the University of Michigan football program, he told his father that he wanted to be “the best leader that’s ever been here.” By defeating Ohio State for the first time in 10 years and leading the Michigan Wolverines to the College Football Playoff, Cade has done just that. Cade’s immense mental strength, fierce determination, and charisma prove that teammates gravitate to him. In THE LEADER series, we explore Cade's role as a leader in the locker room, on the field, and his approach to leading one of the most renown college football teams in the country.  We learn what shaped his work ethic and what inspires him. In Episode 01, we relive with Cade the historic game against Ohio State and provide fans an opportunity to share with Cade how they experienced and celebrated this incredible victory.
