How Did NFL Player Justin Tuck Find Time for His Family in Season?

Justin Tuck told Business Dad that an NFL schedule is rigid, and the rigidity is what made family time possible. He knew which Fridays were road days and which Saturdays meant the team hotel, so Saturday and Sunday were mostly gone. As a veteran he kept Monday and Tuesday for movies and dinner with his wife, and treated Wednesday as football hours, about 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the evening at home. He tried not to watch film until the children were asleep. Some of those family days were school visits and choosing books to give through First Book. His wife wanted a real conversation, not a rant about Sunday's opponent.
