Jim Harbaugh has even stated that he treats his kids as if they were his own players, and vice versa. After becoming a father in his second marriage, the man wished to follow his natural instincts. What are his innate instincts, you ask? Well, his natural instinct was to push his children into athletics.
“I’m going to coach them like I do my own players,” he said in an interview about encouraging them to get out on the field. “Not treat my kids any different than my own players, and not treat my players any different than my own kids.” The man did not push his first three children on the field, but they all were sports persons or creatives at some point in their lives.
