  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, today I honor Mr. Anthony Federico 
(``Coach'') for his tireless dedication to youth and his outstanding 
service to his community.
  Coach Federico received his B.S.S degree from John Carroll 
University, where he later received his masters in counseling and 
masters in administration. He also received his Ph.D. from the American 
College of Metaphysical Theology in 1997. Coach Federico most recently 
has served as the head football coach at Maple Heights High School. 
Throughout his career, Coach Federico has taken initiative and 
transformed the coaching profession. His unique approach to coaching 
inspires and enriches the lives of the young people he comes in contact 
with. His unyielding devotion to his students is a reflection of his 
admirable character. Coach Federico has been the assistant football 
coach and offensive coordinator at Case Western Reserve University. He 
has also served as the athletic director and head coach at many other 
schools throughout his career, including Richmond Heights, Chanel High, 
and Willoughby South. He has been a member of the American Coaches 
Association for 35 years, and has also received two ``Coach of the 
Year'' awards.
  In addition to his tremendous coaching abilities, Coach Federico is 
the president of Effective Goal-Setting Opportunities, Inc., which owns 
the pending trademark ``The Zone Coach,'' which represents an 
educational seminar designed to assist in creating a game plan for 
successful and optimal performance based on a unique combination, 
nutrition and fitness. He also created the Goal-Getter, a powerful 
motivational tool built into a standard 12 month calendar. Coach 
Federico's efforts have been recognized and have resulted in the 
creation of a federal grant to help underprivileged youths successfully 
enter the workplace. In addition, he also teaches continuing education 
classes for the department of insurance and real estate. Coach Federico 
has taken his profession to new heights. His coaching philosophy 
reaches beyond the athletic field and reaches into the workplace and 
personal lives of those who understand the importance of total body 
wellness. He is not only a talented coach, but has become a role model 
for all to follow. His tremendous accomplishments as a coach and an 
educator are truly commendable.
  Colleagues, please join me in honoring Mr. Anthony Federico for his 
generous contributions to youth, both on and off the playing field.
