How NFL pros such as Matthew Stafford gain perspective from coaching their kids

IT WAS THE middle of April, and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was drawing up a play on a whiteboard on the sideline of a youth flag football game. He was surrounded by a group that included his three oldest daughters -- Chandler (9), Sawyer (9) and Hunter (8) -- as he described how to read a quarterback's eyes and attack the run. Stafford's daughters, who expressed interest in playing the sport after watching a girls flag football camp at the Rams' facility last year, were supposed to be coached by a local high school student.
