This spot was intended to reach out to all of us who are not so athletically minded. No matter what your talent is, it is important and worth developing. For adults, parents and mentors, it’s important to help young people search for that particular ability, which may not be so obvious at first. In the filming of this spot, the members of the choir performed very well – especially considering that they had just learned the song!

No one is answering my question: Who plays the Mother in "My Life In Sports"? Is she the actress, "Tia" from One Life To Live (who is an excellent actress)?

I believe the song is called "The Perfect Fan," originally recorded by the Backstreet Boys.

I love all your spots. This one is great as well. However, I do get a kick out of the baseball scene where a milkman is delivering milk in glass bottles..must be the 50's.

The best "commercial" I've seen! The Better Life commercials are better than the TV programs! As a mother with non-sports children who are now grown, I wish these had been shown long ago. My children are now in the Arts (Music & Design). We need more of these statements to tell our children that participating in sports isn't everything! KEEP IT UP!

This commercial touches my heart every single time I see it. All of the Better Life commercials are great, but this one gets me good--especially when I hear the kids singing at the end! Love it! And the little boy, too!

Hi, I would like to know the name of the song in the commercial about appreciation. [The song is called "The Perfect Fan" by Backstreet Boys.]

Awww! This video is so cute! It made me cry when I saw how frustrated the boy got, then he sang absolutely beautifully! Kinda reminds me of my own journey.

My son and I love this commercial and I cry every morning when I see it, because my son says that about me and it makes me feel so good and he hugs me when this commercial comes on.

Amazing spot. I really loved it great job using the Backstreet Boys. I've always loved "The Perfect Fan." Brian did such a great job writing it too.

I am not usually a Backstreet Boys fan but this song is very touching. I would like my son to memorize this song and let him sing it for his mothers (his grandmother, his aunt, and for me!)

FBL is incredible - thank you so much for the time, money, and effort you've put into it - it makes a difference!
p.s. The song is "Perfect Fan" by Backstreet Boys

I saw this spot ONCE a few years ago. It was around 2am and I had my eyes closed. I opened them when I heard the music, because my sister had been a huge fan of the Backstreet Boys. I was crying by the time it was through. The message was so true and pure, and just beautiful.

Ok, this one made me tear. I realized very early that all of my children were blessed with different talents. Each applauded for what made them unique. I celebrate them like this MUMM with her son.
Bless you for this nice reminder!
