Did your family watch any football yesterday? With the Super Bowl right around the corner, we'd like to give a shout out to a few of our favorite athlete dads!
Just like moms, working dads try their best to do it all. Being a professional athlete, or coach requires lots of traveling, dealing with the pressure of winning and losing, and finding time to stay in shape. All those things can be hard on an athlete’s family.

Blythe Danner & Gwyneth Paltrow
It’s hard not to love Gwyneth Paltrow. She makes an adorably sassy Pepper Pots and an unforgettable Viola De Lesseps (at least according to the 10 awards she won for her role in Shakespeare in Love).
