Despite his success and notoriety, Tedford remains devoted to being a mentor. “Football is more than a game,” he said. “I think it teaches so many values for young people as they move on into life – teamwork, sacrifice, dedication, hard work – all those things are very valuable to their futures. I’m going to be a person that they can trust and talk to while they’re here. But I really hope that when they leave, they understand that they can come back and ask me for anything and count on me in any situation.” His legendary work ethic, exemplified by the well-used air mattress in his office, shows the coach’s drive, which is not geared towards individual success. His true goals are success as a team and success for his student-athletes. “Jeff is the hardest worker I have ever encountered in this business,” Director of Athletics Sandy Barbour said. “He is not going to be outworked, because he believes he owes that to his student-athletes.” That relentless drive developed in Tedford as a young football player in Downey, Calif., and at Stadium for 37 games in a row.

Construction is well underway for the new 142,000 square foot facility that will provide locker rooms, meeting rooms and offices for football and 12 other Golden Bear sports teams. Construction is expected to be completed by September 2011.

The SAHPC will house a state-of-the-art training, applied sports science and medicine complex for year-round access by 450 student-athletes.

The building will feature an academic center where all student-athletes will have access to the resources they need to succeed in their studies as much as they do in competition. Memorial Stadium Renovation

Built in 1923, Memorial Stadium is considered to be one of the most beautiful settings for collegiate football. At the time of its opening, Robert Gordon Sproul, who became UC president in 1930, said that the stadium “stands in simple dignity, beauty and strength.”

The renovation of the stadium will preserve the historic character of the structure while bringing it up to world-class standards — with respect to student-athlete needs, fan amenities and safety — in keeping with the university’s tradition.

The Endowment Seat Program, the first of its kind in major college athletics, will provide a long-term, sustaining endowment that will grow over the next 30 years and will fund the annual operating needs for all student-athletes across Cal’s 27 athletic programs. Future Golden Bears locker room
