Lee Schwartz

Lee Schwartz is the author of Raising Giants, a memoir about raising his two sons, Geoff and Mitch, both of whom reached the NFL. What started as a father's journey through the world of competitive football became something deeper — a reckoning with the real risks of brain trauma, CTE, and the long-term consequences of repeated head impacts in contact sports. Lee doesn't shy away from the hard questions. In this episode, he shares what he wish he had known earlier, how families can make more informed decisions about contact sports, and how to balance supporting your child's passion with protecting their long-term health. This one is important — not just for football families.
