All-Star Athletes Who Are All-Star Dads

Emmitt Smith

Smith has said that sports are a gift but his kids are his legacy. He makes a conscious effort to make sure his kids feel loved and attended to, even though there are so many of them with so many things going on. "There are moments throughout the day that we try to have individual time with all of the kids... As a father, I try to be home with them in the morning and for dinner, and to have one-on-one time to either put one to bed or help with homework."
