Steve Smith says his family was emotionally bankrupt despite making $82 million in the NFL
“I struggle internally with understanding really what does a man bring to the table. I provided financially and a roof over my family's head, but emotionally they were bankrupt”
“Understanding that, figuring that out, and understanding what each one of my family members, my wife, what she need from me. How can I show up for her every day?”
“How can I show up for my daughter? How can I set that standard for my daughter, that she's not looking for the boyfriend to be there because her dad wasn't there”
“Just trying to figure it out myself and no longer blind leading the blind. More of leading from the front, and sometimes also leading from the back”
“Also asking my wife, ‘Hey, what do you think about this?’ instead of saying, ‘Oh, this is my house and I know what we need’”
