JOE NAMATH

Some people rock our world what rocks theirs?

An episode from the series BEYOND THE SPOTLIGHT

Synopsis

Joe Willie Namath, an icon of American football, hails from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, where he was raised in a supportive, hardworking family.

His athletic prowess was evident early on, leading him to excel in sports as a respite from the challenges of his parents' divorce. Namath's football talents earned him a scholarship to the University of Alabama, where he achieved national recognition. After college, he became a superstar with the New York Jets.

Post-NFL, Namath committed himself to philanthropy, contributing to the March of Dimes and raising funds for research on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a cause close to him due to its impact on fellow athletes.
