Heart of the Game

John Harkes helped awaken soccer fever in the United States as captain of the US Men’s national team during the 1994 World Cup. His son Ian Harkes pursued the “family business,” and is currently playing for the New England Revolution in the MLS. 

The Harkes boys talk with host Jon Frankel about the changes in how professional soccer players train now versus when John Harkes was on the pitch, and what it’s like to grow up in a family where everyone plays soccer for a living.

Host Jon Frankel sits down with NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner and his sons, up-and-coming players Kade & E.J. Warner, to discuss the significance of family, philanthropy, and football.

The Warners share their views on how the game of football has evolved over time, how Kurt stays fit after retiring and what his sons aim to achieve on and off the field.

On Heart of the Game, host Jon Frankel (HBO Real Sports) sits down with some of the biggest families in sports to get inside what’s really making them tick. What roles have their families and self care played in their paths to championship glory?

Whether it’s taking care of your heart, safeguarding your mental health or persevering through injuries - listen as we hear the invaluable lessons being passed down to a new generation of athletes.
