Check out Mark’s new book, “Ready, Set, Play!”

This remarkable new book is a collection of stories about famous athletes, coaches and public personalities and the bonding experiences they had with their parents by playing sports.

Note from Mark: I want to introduce you to my new book, “Ready, Set, Play” ! As a three time Superbowl champion, former All-Pro, 12 year veteran of the NFL, and current NFL Analyst on ESPN, I have witnessed the impact of play in the lives of great sports figures. I had to write this book to share some amazing stories.

Did you know:

• Margie Sabathia was CC’s catcher until he was 11 years old when she said, “Mommy can’t catch you, I’m afraid.”

• George Foreman taught his children that education was more important than anything, feeling that if he had a solid education he would not have had to go back to boxing at 40 years old.

• Summer break training for college-bound Mike Golic and his brothers included pushing trucks down the road in their Willowick, Ohio hometown – the brainchild of their dad, Lou.

• Every time Lou Holtz coached a team in a new city, the first think he unpacked was a trampoline.
