From the LifeMInute team
It's that time again- Football season! New York Giants' defensive end, Justin Tuck revealed how he tackles the game, family and fitness at the Food Bank for New York City , 30th anniversary Can Do Awards Dinner.
With a three year-old daughter and a new baby boy, how does the pro football daddy do it? "For me it's easy you put family first," he says "God, family and then football for me,"
The NFL star thinks his teammates would agree with his priorities... "Everyone over at the Giants understands that and prefers it to be that way," he says.
The key to balancing it all may be simpler than you think according to Tuck who also squeezes in time for charity work (Food Bank for New York City). "You just have to be very manageable with your time and make sure you set aside those days, those hours, to make sure you have your family experiences."
For Tuck staying on his health game is also important. "It starts with clean eating, so definitely making sure you put the right thing in your body and workout everyday," he says, "in my profession if you don't you won't be in it long."
