In the world of sports, we often hear about the accomplishments and talents of athletes. However, remember that these athletes are also humans, juggling their demanding schedules with the responsibilities of being a parent.

From LeBron James' dedication to his sons to Dwyane Wade's open support for his family, Cristiano Ronaldo's transition into a loving father and Russell Wilson's commitment to his children and community, these athletes exemplify what it means to be a great dad.

LeBron James

Balancing career and fatherhood, LeBron James, a renowned basketball player, has been in the spotlight for his skills on the court and his devotion to his family. Despite his demanding NBA (National Basketball Association) career, LeBron has tried to spend quality time with his sons and support them in their endeavors. His influence on and off the court has shaped his sons' athletic careers, and LeBron's goal is to play alongside both his sons in the NBA one day.

 

Dwyane Wade

Leading with Love, Dwyane Wade, a retired NBA player, has been an exceptional father figure to his children and nephew. Through his foundation and personal experiences, Wade advocates for leading with love and being there for his kids. He has been open about challenges, such as infertility and his daughter's gender transition, demonstrating the importance of support and understanding within a family.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo

From a soccer legend to a cover model to a loving dad Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his extraordinary skills and being a devoted father. Despite his glamorous lifestyle, Ronaldo has shown a softer side as a parent. His journey, including losing a child, has reinforced his commitment to his kids and brought out his human side.

 

David Beckham

The global soccer sensation has been in the headlines lately with his MLS (Major League Soccer) team, Inter Miami, signing soccer's best, Lionel Messi. Beckham moved his family to the U.S. at the end of his playing career, and his children and wife, Victoria Beckham's businesses, have continued to soar. Son Brooklyn, a chef, was recently married to American actress Nicole Peltz. And son Romeo is following in his father's footsteps playing on the Brentford F.C. under-21 team.

 

Russell Wilson

Embracing fatherhood and community, Russell Wilson, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, has shown his dedication to fatherhood through his involvement with his children and stepchild. Wilson's efforts in the community, especially in children's hospitals, have showcased his compassion and support for those in need. Although he faced challenges with his charitable foundation, Wilson's commitment to being a role model for his children remains strong.

UEFA Championship

Manchester City beat Inter Milan for the UEFA Championship League title this weekend. They also took home the “treble.” And what is the treble? It's the three major tournaments in soccer. Meaning the team won the FA Cup, which are English teams. They won the Premier League title, which includes English professional teams. And they won the Champions League title, which is European teams. Congrats to Man City on their big win.

NBA (National Basketball Association)/NHL (National Hockey League) FINals

Let's talk about South Florida. Both of their professional teams that are in the finals in their leagues are at the same 3-1 deficit. The Denver Nuggets pulled off a win this weekend over the Miami Heat, putting them up 3-1. The Nuggets can take home the title on Monday if they win. In the Stanley Cup Finals, the Vegas Golden Knights are up 3-1 against the Florida Panthers, and the Knights can take home their first title on Tuesday with a win.

French Open

Novak Djokovic had a phenomenal French Open, as he tends to do. He won his 23rd Grand Slam title. That is the most out of any man in the sport of tennis. He tied that record with Serena Williams and Margaret Court. On the women’s side, No. 1 ranked Iga Swiatek took home her third French Open title. The winners took home $2.5M in prize money, which is up 4.5% from last year.

PGA (Professional Golfers Association)

Nick Taylor sunk a 72-foot putt to win the Canadian Open. He's the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open in 69 years.

The Stanley Cup has airline status. Wild times. Plus today's watercooler topics. 

They say a great story never started with a salad. Around here, we'd like to think a memorable conversation never began with talking about the weather.

HAVE TROPHY, WILL TRAVEL

The Stanley Cup – a 34.5-pound trophy that gets around. This silver chalice gets its own seat on airplanes, travels worldwide and has even been on a spaceship. Its adventures are chronicled on its Twitter account, offering fans a glimpse into its "spring break-like" escapades.

You'd think because NHL (National Hockey League) players work so hard to earn the right to spend a day with the Stanley Cup, they'd treat it with respect. Only sometimes. The trophy has been set on fire, then peed on to put out said fire, left on the side of the road and in a garden after a photo shoot. 

For more on the Instagram-worthy, jealousy-evoking life of the iconic trophy, check out this week's podcast, "The Adventures Of The Stanley Cup." LISTEN UP
