“He really gravitated to this issue of really connecting fathers with their kids,” Merrill said.
At the All Pro Dad event, fathers and their children spend three hours playing football.
“You don’t have to be Superman. Just the fact that you’re there and your son or daughter knows that they can come to you and ask a question, it’s really important,” Dungy said.
As a part of the program, there is a booklet that gives the “10 Ways to Be an All Pro Dad”: Love your wife, Spend time with your kids, Be a role model, Understand your children, Show affection, Enjoy your children, Eat together as a family, Discipline with a gentle spirit, Pray and worship together, Realize that you’re a father forever.
