This is how American stories known about legendary NFL quarterback Brett Favre is been kept between the goalposts so Greg Henwood took the 3 1/2 hour long drive itself from here in Oxford, Mississippi, where we broadcast the show and sat down with Brent in his Hattiesburg Mississippi home. Here's Brett on tough love telling the truth, and having a parenting style that's different than his father's. And this is part two of our five part series coach two years of high school football. Not because I wanted to head coach here in high school who I knew really well, talk me into will really want to first year of retirement and I but I felt like I was really tough on the kids. I didn't pick my dad and now the coaches picked a lot, you big sissy, not so much me and course at that time. It's all new.

Now looking back as a coach for his person in that position is not to be a coach commit teacher. I think it our job is to mentor rather than pick me in some respects it's like no bullying to worsen those kids anymore come around and don't get me wrong I would joke around with these kids, but it would always be in a playful manner and I knew whoever it was Hamlet. In fact, it made it may even help with 15 bonding really demanding on what I knew they were capable of only because I knew what they were capable of. Just like talking to your kids and you say bounce all around like my 20-year-old daughter uses example all the time like first or second year American Idol were ingrained by study and we got American Idol and we love watching and title of the show was over. She's probably eight she comes over she said that on trial for American Idol only thing I said no. She said why so you can say your terrible and I was just telling the truth acid shortly if I'd let you trial some as I want. Were you thinking and I knew what she's capable of and when she she's a smart kid if you want to be a doctor. She could. She wants to be a lawyer. She could, but she's not only a rocket scientist and not that I think as is a coach, I demanded what I thought they were capable of achieving. And I felt like if a were not there is a reason for not studying, not paying attention practice when they did well.

It's something that Medtronic coaching that it would reward him and hug him arm around great job and that's where my dad will when you did something right you supposed to do it that way now.

I cannot downtime you have something like that and that's all new and I was determined that I don't think I have a coach but if I did that I would. I would build them up as well. Inside the owner know that when I do. Well, that you love the same can be said for life, like my dad and I battle I will say this with any regret is I don't but he never told say love this but again he was that Mrs. Dion thinking a drill sergeant after the nicest really love you guys. They may say it. Our joking manner night and get your eye out. Give me some my mom of course was kind of caregiver told you she loved you and all the more about your dad when they when they walk in the room.

It was all it was tough, tough love and confided hat I was determined if I had boys I would tell my love to as much as possible. Now I had two girls and told them I love them and I now I know you and family. Tell them over and over again. Now in my perfect parent, absolutely not. But my dad was.

I don't know if it was why they raise.

I'm sure part of it was my grandfather real mellow but he was up in people change the Elmo and you know people maybe all family members that like this tough guy that you want for the man with the grandkids like was that when I was a kid so go back to my dad when I had Brittany Braley. He didn't want spend very much time with him that patients kids run around screaming state start yelling then not have to yell at him and that it was just as bad but you know I can't tell people I knew he loved me.

Have to say it now as I got older I understood it more more sometimes through his yelling and screaming.

That was his way of satellite say what you they would do that you feel good job but hell that's on the coaching. He knew that was his way of saying also just the way it was. Then again, it drove me and only know what I was being driven by maybe I was.

It was drunk driving me like out getting to say nice job proud having without even knowing it is funny when you commit, figuring that he had retired this is telephone funny exchange between us that he would get in the truck after the game to be a good game Italian clown completed 3430.

If you follow three more better passes like the for someone who never threw the ball tell me how to throw in a just shut up way it was nothing. They have is the truth large of a set rate of only one here, you coach me one thing about reading it was hit attack.

Undoubtedly a new and lucky roles and mail which I would try and work out, but don't tell me how thorough up until he and that mean he was determined coach me out out now. The site is a coach map on this ins and outs of the passing game. John Nolan came in passing, and you're listening to Brett Favre talking about his dad who was his coach when he was in high school and they never threw the ball and working to continue if you'd like to hear more on Brett Favre's life.
