“It was crazy, but I just did it. I didn't drink, I didn't take drugs. I didn't smoke. I just got up every day. I look back now and I go, Oh my gosh.. but at the time, you just do it” 


The name Gronkowski is no stranger to professional sports. All five of the Gronkowski brothers have made it to pro level with four playing in the NFL; including Tampa Bay tight end Rob Gronkowski. 


In this episode we hear from Gordie Jr, Chris, Dan, Rob and Glenn Gronkowski’s mother, Diane. 


Diane ran a tight ship when her boys were growing up, dividing her time between all of their sport commitments and ensuring they had everything they needed outside of sport too. She’s the fuel that kept the machine turning as each child pursued their passion whether that was hockey, football or baseball. 


Diane takes us back to give us a glimpse of life behind the scenes in the Gronkowski household as she supported her children through their early days of practices, training, draft days, injuries, Super Bowl rings right through to life after sport.
