From a Brain Bleed to the NFL: Inside the Batty Family Story

from The Get There · host Brad Gordon

Tyler Batty plays in the NFL. But before the draft, before BYU, before the scholarship, there was a farm, a four-wheeler, and a doctor's warning that his football career was over before it started.   In this episode of To Get There, Brad Gordon sits down with Layne and Peg Batty to tell the real story. They talk about raising seven kids on a Utah farm with no handouts and no shortcuts, navigating the college recruiting world as first-time sports parents, Tyler's decision to serve an LDS mission despite scholarship pressure, and the quiet conviction that drove it all: the dream has to be theirs, not yours.   Plus, hear about Edward's Hands, the equine therapy nonprofit Tyler founded for special needs kids, run out of the family's Circle B Farm.   Edward's Hands: edwardshands.org
