Synopsis

Through our Eyes: What a Ride is told from the parent’s perspective of children who played sports from high school, college, and in the NFL, along with a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to get to the top of the game.

Writing with humor and humility, these stories deliver insights both practical and profound. A must-read for all parents with children in sports, the author provides his point of view on the games, the practices, the struggles, sacrifices, disappointments, and triumphs...as well as tailgating and celebrating victories at each level of the game.

This book isn’t just about an athlete who made it to the top, but about a family who went through both ends of the spectrum of sports and how each child came through winning because of their character, attitude, persistence, and belief in themselves—making memories that last forever. Bill shows how parents can let their children make their own decisions, with guidance at every stage, to help them grow and be successful as leaders both on and off the field.
