Send us a text

The Co-Author of the book: “Freddie Steinmark: Faith, Family, & Football along with Sammy Steinmark, who is the younger brother of Freddie joined the show to talk about this inspirational person. 

We begin the show with learning how Bower met Freddie and Sammy, telling us what it was like growing up in the Steinmark household. Freddie was a multi-sport star at Wheat Ridge HS that was not recruited to any major colleges, but Coach Royal at U took a chance on him, but how did he find out about Freddie? 

He was humble with a huge heart and his faith was very important to him. Hear stories that will paint the picture of Freddie as a person that shows his compassion and courage. 

Sammy tells us what was happening at home and throughout his junior year when Freddie started having problems with his leg and the pain, he was in. This eventually led to his leg being amputated due to bone cancer. His outlook immediately afterwards and the process he went through to attend the Cotton Bowl vs. Notre Dame 20 days later. Hear about Freddie’s life the year and half after the Cotton Bowl. 

Yes, I ask them what happened to Linda Wheeler who was Freddie’s girlfriend. Then tell you about the legacy Freddie has left behind at UT and WRHS. Is football or his amputation that have left a bigger impact? Freddie’s autobiography which leads to Bower having reservations to write the book and what happened to change it. Close with the lasting impression he has left behind.
