Ex-Marine Kapitulik helps Nebraska football get with The Program

“We can talk about it or we can do it,” he says. “Let’s do it.”

If you’re a Nebraska football fan, you’ve probably seen the video by now. The former Marine and founder of The Program, Husker head coach Scott Frost and several others are setting out on a grueling rim-to-rim hike of the canyon, an expedition ESPN reporter Marty Smith and his crew captured for his show "Marty Smith’s America."

“I’ll tell you what, I don’t care who you are or what kind of shape you’re in, by the time you’re at hour nine and you start hiking up the North Rim, it’s a good gut check,” Kapitulik told the Journal Star one month later after bringing his leadership development group to Lincoln to work with the Nebraska football program.
