The start of the NFL season is almost upon us. Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett, who shares rarely heard stories from professional athletes on how they overcome challenges, can still be applied to wrestling coaches and parents.
You will hear Dorsett relate how legendary coach Tom Landry taught a life lesson on responsibility and respecting teammates that left the star running back using "all the strength in my body not to start crying like a little baby."
Dorsett's take on sports parenting: "I always try to be encouraging to them on the field. Even if they make a mistake, I'm not going to be screaming. I don't want to break my child's spirit."
