The Playbook for Dads: Parenting Your Kids In the Game of Life

by Jim Kelly, Ted Kluck, Dan Marino Narrated by Allan Robertson

Overview

On the football field NFL great Jim Kelly was a strong-armed passer, leading his team to victory after victory. In The Playbook for Dads he passes principles instead of footballs, still using his talent to lead men, but now he leads them to greatness as fathers, in his view the world's most important job.

With an emphasis on preparation, hard work and perseverance, Kelly tackles such essential issues as respect, character, accountability and spiritual discipline. From commitment and courage to honesty and humility, Kelly's lessons-learned on and off the field- guide men striving to be the fathers God designed them to be shy so their children can grow to be everything they are meant to be. Conversational and refreshingly honest, Jim challenges fathers to work hard, pray for their children often, love their wives and implement these principles. Both practical and inspirational this is Jim Kelly coaching every dad how to be the star quarterback for the home team-his family.

OCTOBER 2012 - AudioFile

By underplaying the pathos in this touching lesson/memoir, Allan Robertson’s relaxed, authentic-sounding performance makes this audio come across like a memorable conversation with the former Buffalo Bills quarterback. The talented narrator sounds totally in sync with every component of the author’s story—his devotion to professional football, his heartbreaking struggle with having a special needs son who died at age 8, and especially his growth as a father, husband, and man. It’s full of fascinating football stories that will captivate anyone passionate about the game. The humble advice illustrated by these stories is organized around nine character ideals such as respect, gratitude, teamwork, and responsibility. Each chapter on these ideals is charmingly bookended with Kelly’s poignant letters of admiration to his son and gentle advice to his two daughters. T.W. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
