NFL athlete and Super Bowl champion Benjamin Watson knows a thing or two about big games. But he says the biggest game in life—parenting, specifically fatherhood—is one for which there is no playbook. Watson shares, “I could find clearer direction for putting together a baby swing than for taking care of a newborn child.” His new book, The New Dad’s Playbook: Gearing Up for the Biggest Game of Your Life solves this problem of being a new dad and feeling unprepared by sharing parenting tips, wisdom and practical advice for new dads.
