On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy talk to Steve Below, author of Pigskin Dreams: Living A Hall of Fame Life. Steve interviewed dozens of NFL Hall of Fame football players (like: Larry Csonka, Howie Long Long, Mike Singletary 
and Dick Butkus) to understand what made them succeed. Three of the key findings for success were: strong maternal influence; importance of play in order to explore the world and they each had a difference maker or mentor who influenced them dramatically. The lessons (think, say, do, be) are extremely valuable. Here are some of the Top 10 things every parent needs to know about kids and sports: 1-let the kids have fun 2- parents are the real head coaches 3-don’t live vicariously through your kids and 4-let your kids make their own decisions about the sports they play. To learn the rest of the list and to get more information about this great gift for the football fan in your house please go to www.pigskindreams.com
