About Jeff Attinella

Growing up, Jeff was all about sports– football, soccer, baseball, you name it. If it wasn’t sports related, he wasn’t interested. His love for sports is a passion that has shaped his entire life. He is fortunate to play soccer for a living, but it’s bigger than that. His most cherished childhood memories are centered around watching a big game; his relationship with his wife sparked by a mutual love for Penn State football, and his passion for Tampa Bay sports keeps him close to home, even though he has moved all over the country.

He owes so much of his life to sports. The idea to tell these stories came about after the birth of his daughter, Remy. Jeff wanted to create a vehicle where he could share his love of sports with her, in a way that would hopefully build a bond they would share forever. Reading together provides a way for parents and their children to share in special moments, but he wants these stories to do even more. He wants to reach the kids like himself, the ones more likely to grab a ball than a book. It is so important for a growing mind to fall in love with reading and he hopes these stories can bridge a love for sports with a newfound passion for reading.
