Raising Giants with Lee Schwartz and Geoffrey Schwartz

This week on The Hamilton Review Podcast, we are pleased to welcome Lee Schwartz and Geoffrey Schwartz for a compelling conversation about family, football, and the realities of brain health in sports. Lee shares the extraordinary journey of raising two sons who went on to play professional football in the NFL, while Geoffrey offers his perspective as a former NFL player. Together, they provide a candid and insightful look at their experiences, exploring both the rewards and challenges of life in the sport. The discussion also examines CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), a progressive brain disease that has become a significant concern in contact sports. Lee and Geoffrey share valuable insights and practical advice for parents seeking to better protect their children from brain injuries while participating in athletics. In addition, Lee discusses his book, Raising Giants: My Extraordinary Journey with Two NFL Sons, and the lessons he learned along the way. This is a powerful and informative episode of The Hamilton Review Podcast - one that every parent, coach, and sports enthusiast should hear and share. Lee spent his 40+ year professional career as an executive and consultant in manufacturing and distribution.  But what he's most proud of is being the father of two outstanding sons, Geoffrey and Mitchell, both of whom played 8+ years in the NFL. Lee's amazing two-decade experience with Geoffrey and Mitchell inspired him to write Raising Giants – My Extraordinary Journey with TWO NFL Sons, a memoir sharing his real-life stories of how love, discipline and vision helped shape his sons into elite athletes—and grounded men. Carrying his passion for football and the lives of his sons forward, Lee has now assumed a role on the West Coast Advisory Board of the Concussion & CTE Foundation (www.concussionandcte.org).   CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) is a progressive brain disease, a real-world issue.  Thank goodness, Geoffrey and Mitchell show no signs of struggle with mental decline but Lee's been touched by those who have/are struggling and by the impact it has on the sufferers and their families.  Lee is proud to raise awareness of CTE, particularly to parents of our youth who wish to participate in youth contact sports, and the work being done by the Concussion & CTE Foundation to find causes, treatments and cures for this horrible disease.
