Belichick and his Dad: A Football Legacy

DEDHAM — Bill Belichick learned so many lessons from his dad Stephen Belichick and he has now passed those lessons on to his kids, mostly through sports.

Bill's three kids are all coaching sports and following in the footsteps of their grandfather.  Watch as I talk one on one with Bill about just how much it means to be able to continue the legacy that his dad started.

Stephen Belichick was a football coach for 47 years.  The last 34 of those years he was the head football coach at the US Naval Academy.  Since Stephen Belichick died in 2005 his son Bill started the Bill Belichick Foundation in his memory.

The mission of the www.BillBelichickFoundation.org is the following: "...to provide coaching, mentorship, and financial support to individuals, communities and organizations. Focusing on football and lacrosse.  Its mission is to bring values of the Belichick family - a love of sports, coaching and team building - to the athletic leaders of tomorrow.

The latest event for this foundation will take place on Thursday November 2nd.  It is the 4th annual Bill Belichick Hall of Fame Huddle.  You can buy tickets and find out more about the event at their website at www.BillBelichickFoundation.org.
