Bio
Welcome to the FootballFamily4 website. I am Nic Ertz, brother of TE Zach Ertz of the Philadelphia Eagles. Together with my mom and brothers (and Zach's blessing) we decided to create a place where we could gather together to support each other and the players we love so much. Over the last four seasons, we have all experienced the beautiful and often tumultuous highs and lows of the NFL. During these times, my family and I have often felt isolated and without a place to turn. It can be pretty destabilizing--especially since there are few who actually live this like we do.
Have you ever gone to a friend with a trade rumor or to discuss an injury or how reporters feel about your son or brother? Have you ever tried to illicit support when the fans in the city fail to see the person we know him to be? We have and the results can be shattering. Alternatively, the success that they experience can be equally as difficult to share..............
My goal is to create a platform that is that resource for all of us. To give others like us a place to go for that support we all need. To discuss openly the issues we face, to successfully tackle the everyday challenges they face, and to support each other through the oftentimes harrowing transition to the NFL, to discuss safety concerns and injuries--all in an effort towards finding comfort in not feeling alone in this.
Let's use social media for good--to filter out the negative and the noise that we all inevitably experience so that we can better appreciate all the joy and celebration that is also part of this unique journey.
Join me and my family in this. I know we can work together to create a place of comfort and camaraderie.
