The Power of Vision & Finding Your Why with Andrew DiDonato, Head Football Coach at Grove City College
SEPTEMBER 15, 2026Success rarely happens overnight. It is built one decision, one habit, and one "brick" at a time.
“Focus on your vision, not your circumstance.”
Greg Weimer sits down with Andrew DiDonato, Head Football Coach at Grove City College, for a conversation about leadership, faith, intentionality, and the power of staying focused on a vision bigger than yourself.
When Andrew took over the Grove City football program in 2016, the team had not won a game in three years. His “Brick by Brick” approach helped transform the program while reinforcing lessons that extend far beyond football. Andrew shares why vision, gratitude, and understanding the “why” behind what you do can help you lead with greater purpose and make a lasting impact on others.
In this episode, gain insights on:
- Brick by brick: how Andrew's "Brick by Brick" philosophy helped transform Grove City football
- Vision first: why great leadership starts with a clear vision and a commitment to the process
- The why, not the what: what it means to "live the why, not the what" and bring greater intention to everyday life
- Bringing fulfillment: why fulfillment should be something you bring to your work, not something you expect your work to give you
- Something bigger: how gratitude, faith, and focusing on something bigger than yourself can shape the way you lead and live
- Know your story: why knowing your story can help you define your vision and create a more meaningful legacy
