Kyle Shanahan says during the NFL season his family gets to see him him only 10% of the time “Pretty much just relaxing. We work for two days, at least in the office, and then we get out of there. My whole time is really just with the family. I’d say it’s about 90% family, 10% football.” “Because it’s five days of that, and the football is me on my own in my house. We have everything set up there, so if John’s thinking about guys they’re looking at, he’ll tell me to check someone out, so I can do that. But it’s really trying to get away mentally and spend all that time with the family. Because when you come back, it’s the opposite.” “It’s 10% family, not because you just choose it that way, but because you’re at the office all the time. It’s like that for seven months. So it’s important to get that time in, get away, come back rested, and ready for this grind. It’s pretty tough.” “Anytime you’re so invested in something, I have an easier time before training camp because we get away for 40 days. You know you’re going to have training camp, so you have some time to come back into it. But when you just get off for five days and you know you’re right back into it, you never fully get away from it. That’s why I don’t do too much.” “I don’t try to see many people. I don’t go golf or anything, I just hang out with my family. I flew up to Boulder one night just so I could take my daughter out to dinner, who just started her first year at college, see her dorm and stuff. Came back the next morning.” “Went to a high school football game to see my son and hosted a Halloween party for my eighth-grade daughter, which was kind of cool to see. And just watched football all day Sunday. So it was a good little break.”
