“I got stuck with the football.”

When Danny Etling was just a kid, his father, Joe, showed up at their home in Terre Haute, Indiana, with a bag of balls from a local toy store.

One by one, each of the five Etling children grabbed a ball. One took a basketball, another took a soccer ball, and Danny, the middle of the five children, was stuck with the football.

He put the football in his closet and didn’t touch it, not for a few years anyway, but all of a sudden, he acquired the urge to play.
