Episode 13
Episode 13 is about a father and son relationship, a connection through a sport that would take his Dad away from his son too soon in life! In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Kelly Lytle, the son of former NFL Denver Bronco and Michigan Wolverine Rob Lytle. Kelly shares the powerful and personal story of his father’s professional career, his struggles after football, and their unique bond as father and son. Listen in as Kelly discusses the physical and mental toll that professional football took on his dad, the manifestation of his father’s dream of becoming an NFL player, and the sacrifices he made for the game he loved. The conversation explores Kelly’s own athletic journey and the influence his father had on his path, as well as the emotional struggle Rob experienced after retirement and the pressure to maintain a tough image in the world of football. We discuss the importance of vulnerability and how confronting pain can be the toughest act of all. In this episode, we also examine the duality of Rob Lytle’s relentless pursuit of success and the challenges Kelly has faced in understanding his father’s definition of success. We reflect on the power of love and the importance of moving forward after loss, as well as the joy of knowing that Rob did what he loved and stayed true to his passion.
