Coach Ginn is a special gift to NE Ohio, and specifically, the east side of Cleveland.

LASTING IMPRESSION
Journalist comes away so impressed with Glenville coach Ted Ginn Sr. that he makes him focus of a documentary
Saturday, January 05, 2008
Dennis Manoloff
Plain Dealer Reporter
John Dauphin met Ted Ginn Sr. at a church in Sandusky in the summer of 2006. Ginn had come to give a speech.
Dauphin, a longtime journalist, was immediately captivated by the Glenville High School football coach, enough that the standard feature story would not suffice.
"I asked if I could follow him around," Dauphin said Friday by phone from his home in Columbus. "He said, 'Sure, why don't you follow me for a week?' More than a year later, here we are."
What began in August 2006 was wrapped in November 2007: "Winning Lives: The Story of Ted Ginn Sr." The documentary, released in December, is being televised tonight and Sunday on ONN.
Dauphin wrote, directed and co-produced the film.
"Teddy's as impressive as anyone I've ever been around," Dauphin said. "While others are thinking about or trying to make a difference, he's out there doing it every day."
On the DVD jacket, the 58-minute film is billed as "a powerful look at the legendary high school coach and his efforts to make a positive impact on the turbulent lives of inner-city youth in Cleveland and beyond."

There are a lot of ways to define "success" in life. Ted Ginn Sr. come just about as close as you can to what I think success is. Just think of how many lives he has changed and how his influence will live on through generations! Anyone who thinks one person can't make a difference can learn a lot by looking at Ted Ginn Sr's life.

Lack of funds, time put Ginn bus tour on hold
Thursday, June 05, 2008
Bob Fortuna
Plain Dealer Reporter
The wheels on the "Ted Ginn Road to Opportunity" football combine bus tour have come to a stop, at least for this summer.
Glenville High School football coach Ted Ginn Sr. said that because of issues with funding, time and helpers, there won't be a tour of college camps that allows his players to showcase their skills in front of college coaches.
While there are some former Glenville players in the NFL, Ginn says he has not asked them for help. They should know what to do, he said. As a result, the only former player who has offered financial assistance is his son, Ted Ginn Jr., a first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins in 2007.

Having The Courage To Be Different
A Cleveland High School Coach Dreamt Big, And Now Teaches At-Risk Boys To Do The Same
CBS) Time for a break from all the bad economic news. Instead ? The Good News, stories to be thankful for, featuring an American who made his community better against the odds. Correspondent Armen Keteyian takes us to Ohio:
Ted Ginn Sr. just might be the most unlikely head of a high school in the country.
A local football coach, he never went to college and doesn't have any teaching or administrative credentials. Yet the school he conceived and runs, the Ginn Academy, is one of the most successful public schools in Cleveland.
"I did so many things different," Ginn said. "I did what other people didn't do. You know what I'm saying?"
"They're going right ?" Keteyian said.
"And I'm going left. Because if you're going right and it's not working, you gotta do something different."
